Hot water is an essential part of our daily lives. We need it to cook, stay clean, and hydrate. That’s why it’s important to protect and maintain your home’s water heater.
As a homeowner, you need to make sure this essential system is operating properly and efficiently throughout the year. While our plumbing experts can conduct routine maintenance on your system, there are a few key parts of your water heater that you should also be able to inspect.
Our experts at Roth Home, Plumbing, Electrical and Drain Services have gathered a few key safety tips that you should always remember when you inspect your water heater:
While most residential heaters don’t have a gauge to tell you the exact temperature, you can run your home’s hot water tap for three minutes, fill a glass with it and check the water with a meat thermometer. If the temperature is below 120 degrees, then you should adjust the system’s temperature dial, wait three hours, test again and then call a plumber if nothing changes.
At Roth Home, Plumbing, Electrical and Drain services, our plumbing experts will make sure your water heater is working properly and safely before we leave your home. With over 40 years of plumbing experience in communities throughout the Portland Metro area, there is no problem too great or too small for us to fix.

In addition to being a costly investment, we understand that replacing your water heater is also time consuming. Roth’s plumbers prioritize your time, safety and comfort from the moment we set up your appointment to the time we leave. In total, it should take our licensed plumbers approximately 4-6 hours to disconnect your old water heater and install the new one in your home.
