Schedule Your Maintenance Check
Prevent Costly Breakdowns — Identify Issues Before They Escalate
Early warning signs like longer heat-up times, inconsistent temperatures, or pressure changes often go unnoticed until failure. Our team performs full system diagnostics to detect issues with valves, sensors, or ignition systems before they become emergencies—saving you time, stress, and money.
Improve Energy Efficiency — Reduce Waste and Protect Your Utility Bills
Sediment buildup and scale make your water heater work harder to deliver hot water. Our maintenance flush removes mineral deposits, improving heat transfer and reducing energy use—keeping your water hotter, faster, and more affordable to maintain.
Extend System Lifespan — Preserve the Components That Matter Most
Professional maintenance can add years to your system’s service life. We inspect burners, anode rods, vents, and pressure valves to ensure everything runs safely and efficiently. Small tune-ups today prevent expensive replacements tomorrow.
Maintain Water Quality — Stop Rust and Scale at the Source
Over time, unflushed water heaters can accumulate rust and hard-water deposits that affect both water clarity and taste. Our descaling and flushing services help preserve clean, clear water while protecting your home’s plumbing from corrosion and mineral buildup.
Stay Covered Under Warranty — Keep Your Manufacturer Protection Active
Many manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to keep your water heater warranty valid. Skipping routine service could void coverage and leave you paying out of pocket for major repairs. With TCC, every visit is fully logged and performed to factory standards, helping protect both your warranty and your wallet.

Check for gas leaks
Inspect all tankless water heater gas lines, fittings, and shut-off valves for leaks using an electronic detector and soap-solution test. Early leak detection prevents fire hazards and ensures efficient, safe combustion.
Visual heat exchanger inspection
Perform a detailed visual inspection of the furnace heat exchanger to ensure it is intact, crack-free, and safe. This prevents carbon monoxide leaks and premature system failure.
Inspect burners and flame sensors
Clean and examine the burner assembly for even flame pattern and carbon buildup. Verify flame sensor operation to confirm accurate detection and reliable ignition.
Inspect flue pipe and venting
Ensure vent and intake systems are clear, properly sealed, and free from corrosion or blockages. Correct venting prevents exhaust backflow and carbon monoxide exposure.`
Test ignition and gas valve operation
Cycle the ignition system to confirm smooth startup and rapid flame establishment. Verify gas valve response time and shut-off integrity under normal and high-demand conditions.Electrical Maintenance
Tighten electrical connections
Secure all wiring terminals and inspect for corrosion or overheating. Tight connections ensure safe operation and prevent intermittent power loss to sensors or control boards.Test thermostat calibration
Compare set temperature with actual outlet water temperature to ensure accurate readings and consistent user control.
Inspect control board diagnostics
Access and review system control board for stored or active fault codes. Clear any logged alerts and verify all inputs and outputs function per manufacturer specs.
Verify safety relays and overheat sensors
Inspect and test overheat limit switches, flame failure relays, and shutoff circuits to confirm safe response during fault conditions.Mechanical Components
Check and adjust fan belt tension
Inspect and adjust fan belts to maintain proper tension. Correct alignment reduces strain, prevents wear, and ensures efficient furnace operation.
Inspect and test safety controls
Test furnace safety controls, including limit switches and rollouts, to ensure safe and reliable shutdown during abnormal operation.Inspect and service condensate drain system
Check condensate drain lines and neutralizer assemblies for blockages or acid residue. Flush and replace neutralizer media if needed to prevent corrosion of drains or vent components.
Examine water and gas piping connections
Inspect unions, flex lines, and threaded fittings for corrosion, leaks, or vibration stress. Tighten or reseal as required to ensure safe, efficient gas combustion and steady water delivery.Seasonal Checks
Calibrate temperature and flow settings
Adjust inlet flow rate, outlet temperature, and gas modulation settings to match manufacturer standards. Confirm accuracy using calibrated test equipment to ensure consistent water temperature and optimal system efficiency.
Document service report and homeowner review
Record test results, readings, and completed maintenance steps in the customer’s digital service history. Provide the homeowner with a printed or emailed performance summary, warranty notes, and recommendations for next-season upkeep. Book Your Tune-Up TodayHow to Know You Need Water Heater Maintenance
Top Warning Signs Your Water Heater Needs Service
Even reliable water heaters can lose efficiency over time—especially in Las Vegas, where hard water minerals and high demand can cause internal wear. Regular maintenance prevents sudden breakdowns and keeps your system heating efficiently.Here’s how to spot when it’s time to schedule a professional tune-up or flush:
Fluctuating Water Temperature
If your water turns cold unexpectedly, takes too long to heat up, or feels lukewarm even at full setting, sediment buildup may be insulating the heating element or burner. A professional flush restores proper heat transfer and consistent temperature.
Strange Noises
Popping or rumbling sounds are caused by hardened sediment at the bottom of the tank. As water bubbles through the debris, it strains the burner and shortens the unit’s lifespan. A cleaning service can eliminate the noise and restore efficiency.
Reduced Hot Water Pressure
Low flow at faucets or showers can indicate mineral buildup in the tank or pipes. Sediment and corrosion restrict water lines over time. Regular maintenance keeps your system clear and ensures strong, steady water pressure.
Rust-Colored or Cloudy Water
If your hot water appears rusty or discolored, corrosion could be forming inside the tank or the sacrificial anode rod may need replacement. Flushing and rod inspection help prevent leaks and extend the life of your water heater. 1 / 5
