Water Heater Repair & Maintenance

It’s easy to take hot water for granted until it’s gone. Whether you’re dealing with inconsistent temperatures, a sudden leak, or just a system that’s showing its age, the experts at Autumn Air are here to help.

Since 2004, we’ve been keeping homes and businesses across Kingston, Saugerties, Woodstock, and beyond supplied with reliable hot water through expert water heater maintenance and fast, honest repairs.

What’s Included in Water Heater Maintenance

Regular maintenance isn’t just for heating and cooling systems. Your water heater also needs annual attention to stay efficient, safe, and long-lasting. During a water heater maintenance visit, our skilled technicians will:

• Flush the tank to remove sediment buildup that reduces efficiency
• Inspect the anode rod to prevent internal tank corrosion
• Check and adjust the thermostat settings
• Inspect the pressure relief valve for proper operation
• Examine all connections and fittings for leaks or corrosion
• Test the burner and ignition system (for gas units)
• Inspect the heating elements (for electric units)
• Verify proper venting and airflow (for gas systems)

A well-maintained water heater not only runs more efficiently, but it can also last years longer—saving you money on early replacements.

Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair

If your water heater is struggling, don’t ignore the signs. Early intervention can prevent a minor issue from turning into a major headache:

• No hot water or consistently lukewarm water
• Popping, banging, or rumbling noises coming from the tank
• Rust-colored or cloudy water from your taps
• Water pooling around the base of the unit
• Fluctuating water temperatures
• Low hot water pressure
• Higher energy or gas bills without explanation

If you notice any of these issues, Autumn Air can quickly diagnose the problem and recommend the best course of action, without pushing costly replacements unless truly necessary.
