Do you happen to know what the single hardest-working appliance in your home is? It’s your water heater . Every time you use hot water in your home, which is probably multiple times a day, you’re making use of your water heater.
That’s quite a bit more use than your heater or air conditioner, with a correspondingly high amount of wear and tear on the system. Some types of water heaters never turn off at all, instead constantly working to maintain a standing supply of hot water.
Some common water heater services we provide at Lutz include:
If you want your water heater to last as long as possible, you’re going to need to make sure that it gets the best professional services available. Lutz Plumbing, Inc. offers a full range of water heater installation, repair, maintenance, and replacement services throughout the area. Call today to schedule water heater services in Kansas City and the surrounding area with one of our expert technicians.
If the water pressure coming into a home or building exceeds 80 psi, an approved water-pressure reducing valve conforming to ASSE 1003 or CSA B356 with strainer shall be installed to reduce the pressure in the water distribution pipes to not greater than 80 psi.
Our plumbers can put a pressure test on the incoming water line and if it reads above 80 psi, we will then install a pressure reducing valve in accordance with International Plumbing Code (IPC) 604.8
If you have a pressure reducing valve, the answer is yes. As stated above, the pressure reducing valve regulates the water pressure to a safe level of 80 psi or less, but when that water flows into a water heater, the heat on the water causes pressure to rise, leading to pipe expansion and wear and tear on the water heater due to changes in pressure.
Thermal expansion control is required by IPC code 607.3 for water services inside a structure that are sized up to and including 2", and that because of thermal expansion (pressure on piping due to heating of water), the pressure on the downstream side of a pressure reducing valve exceeds to the pressure reducing valve setting. A thermal expansion tank is a means for controlling increased pressure that is caused when water is heated.
