Maintenance Tips & Preventative Care

To keep your water heater running strong:



  • Flush tank units annually to prevent sediment buildup (we offer this service!)
  • Check for leaks or corrosion around the tank and valves
  • Upgrade to an annual maintenance plan for reminders and priority service

Regular maintenance extends your system’s life and boosts efficiency.

Considering a Tankless Water Heater?

Enjoy endless hot water, lower utility bills, and space-saving design. Tankless units heat water only when needed—no more running out during showers or laundry. McCourt can assess if tankless is right for your home and handle the retrofit, including any gas line or venting upgrades.

Water Heater FAQ

  • Why is my shower water only lukewarm?

    Possible causes include a failed heating element, faulty thermostat, or sediment buildup. Our techs will find and fix the issue quickly.

  • My water heater is leaking—what should I do?

    Shut off the water supply, if safe, and call us immediately. Leaks often mean the tank needs replacement, and we can swap it out fast to prevent further damage.
