You use hot water in your house almost every day. In fact, the only time you probably don’t use hot water in your house is when you’re away on a vacation. Hot water is necessary for showering, cleaning, cooking, and more. During winter, it’s even more important—because taking a hot bath on a cold day is one of the best feelings ever.
So if you notice that the hot water in your house is either running out too fast or isn’t getting hot enough, you probably have troubles with your water heater. Except for a few basic checks, don’t try to make any changes to your water heater on your own. Call our Clovis, NM water heater repair pros and they’ll see you receive the service necessary for getting back your hot water.
When it comes to plumbing troubles that can affect your house during the winter, you most often hear about frozen pipes. That’s rarely an issue in the Clovis area. Our winters can get cold, but not cold enough where there’s a high danger of pipe freeze.
During the fall is the time when homeowners schedule maintenance for their heating systems so they’re ready to handle the cold weather. But parts of a household plumbing system also need maintenance attention during fall, even though they’re used around the year. 
When corrosion starts to set in on a water heater, the conventional wisdom is that it’s time to replace the system. Conventional wisdom is (mostly) right regarding this. If corrosion begins to appear on a water heater’s tank, there’s usually nothing repairs can do to remedy the problem; the water heater will soon start leaking without any way to stop it, making replacement a necessity.
Warmer weather during the summer may mean you won’t turn on your furnace, but there’s one heating system in your house that will keep working away: the water heater. No matter the outdoor temperatures, you still must have hot, running water for jobs like cooking, washing the dishes (cold water doesn’t cut it when it comes to grease!), showering, and bathing. You can’t afford to have your hot water vanish because your water heater abruptly fails on you.
When spring starts at the end of March (March 20 this year), homeowners start making preparations for the transition from the cold of winter to the heat of summer. These “spring cleaning” tasks apply no matter where you live, even places where the winters aren’t rough or the summers are mild. It’s just a good time of the year to take stock of a house and find out where repairs and replacements are needed.
