For properties left empty from October to March, the inspection also includes a technical shutdown. We close the main water valves if there's no risk of frost, which is rare on the coast. We purge the water heater if the property remains unused for over three months. We empty the air conditioning condensate trays and leave them switched off. We also check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, if present.

The water takes longer to heat than in the first year. It comes out hotter initially and then cools down quickly. You notice an abnormally high electricity consumption on your bill. There are kettle-like noises, indicating sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. The water runs slightly cloudy for the first few seconds. Any of these symptoms justify an inspection. Few people know about it, but it's the part that adds the most lifespan to your water heater. It's a magnesium rod inside the tank that attracts corrosion to itself instead of letting it attack the tank walls. It gradually wears down over time. When it's completely gone, corrosion starts eating away at the tank, and from then on, every year counts. We recommend replacing it every four to five years in hard water areas. It's a reasonable cost and easily extends the appliance's life by ten more years. The reason is the limescale that accumulates inside the tank. The heating element that heats the water becomes coated with an increasingly thick layer, acting as an insulator. The thermostat detects that the target temperature isn't reached and sends more power. The electricity bill increases, the appliance heats poorly, and eventually, the element burns out. Sometimes, the tank bursts internally, leading to a catastrophic leak that floods the utility room.

As this is a professional installation with an invoice, the manufacturer honours its official warranty (2-5 years depending on the brand). We add a 30-day labour warranty of our own. The water on the Costa Blanca has an average hardness of 30-40 French degrees. This means a standard electric water heater of any brand, installed without special care, lasts between five and eight years before starting to cause serious problems. Compared to an identical water heater installed in soft water areas like Galicia or northern Catalonia, where it can last twelve to fifteen years without issues, the difference is drastic and ultimately impacts your wallet. 30 days on labour, and the manufacturer's official warranty on the installed appliance.

The price for water heater installation and repair in Sabadell typically ranges from €59 to €420. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials used, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. For holiday apartments or small homes without a gas connection, an electric water heater is the only reasonable option. For chalets or homes with natural gas available, the choice between a larger capacity electric unit and a gas combi boiler depends on family consumption and the current price of gas versus electricity. The cost of scheduled maintenance is always lower than the accumulated cost of reactive emergencies. The data we've collected from our own clients confirms this year after year.
