Inspect the Thermostat: Ensure the thermostat is calibrated correctly for accurate temperature readings.

Tankless Water Heater Maintenance

A tankless water heater offers endless hot water but requires periodic maintenance to function well. Here are some maintenance tips:

Inspect the Heat Exchanger: Ensure the heat exchanger is clean and free from corrosion.

Atmospheric Water Heater Maintenance

Atmospheric water heaters are typically less efficient than other types, but regular maintenance can improve their performance. Consider these tips:

Test the Temperature: Ensure the thermostat is set to the ideal temperature (120°F) for energy efficiency and safety.

Water Softener Maintenance

Proper water softener maintenance ensures that the system works effectively, providing soft water for your home. Follow these tips:
