See What our Happy Customers Say
Our service tech was knowledgeable and took the time to show us what was going on with our AC unit. I was kept up to date with texts throughout the process before he arrived. He took the time to ask if we had any questions. Would highly recommend Arlinghaus!
Arlinghaus was great to get someone to my home immediately as I was dealing with a burst pipe. Mike Thomas was so kind and professional, and thorough in his work. The rates were very reasonable for the wonderful service provided. I certainly will be calling them back if I have any future issues (though I hope I don't!)
I contacted Arlinghaus to have our hot water heater replaced and water softener system installed. The two techs that came out and worked on our project, Derek Mullins and Claude Jones, were excellent! Super nice guys, kept us informed, and did a fantastic job on our house. I appreciate their professional manner and knowledge on this job and I would recommend them for future work. Thank you guys for restoring the hot water in our house and for installing our new water softener, we are so happy for these upgrades!!

Our Water Heater Tune-Up Process

At Arlinghaus, we pride ourselves on a water heater tune-up process that covers all the bases. Our team takes a detailed, step-by-step approach to keep your water heater operating efficiently. Here’s how our tune-up process works:

Initial Inspection

We begin with a full inspection of your water heater. Our experts check the water heater tank, look for signs of corrosion, and test the temperature controls. We want to be sure everything is in tip-top shape before we move on to the next steps.

Flushing the Tank

Over time, sediment and mineral buildup can accumulate inside the tank, especially in areas with hard water. Flushing the tank removes this buildup, allowing your water heater to operate more efficiently and last longer.

Checking the Anode Rod

The anode rod is a crucial component that helps prevent corrosion inside the hot water tank. We inspect the rod to guarantee it’s still doing its job. If it’s worn out, we replace it to protect your tank from rusting.

Final Testing

Finally, we check for leaks, test the water pressure, and confirm that the pilot light is functioning correctly (for gas water heaters). We’ll also verify that your water is heating up to the right temperature and that there are no strange sounds coming from the unit.
