Expert Water Heater Inspection in Hobbs, NM

Hobbs homeowners deal with hard water that carries high levels of calcium and magnesium. When that water gets heated, those minerals drop out of solution and collect inside your tank or heat exchanger. Over time, the buildup acts as an insulating layer, forcing your unit to work harder and use more energy. A water heater inspection from Galactic Plumbing Gas checks the tank, anode rod, pressure relief valve, connections, and burner or heating element for signs of sediment, corrosion, or wear. We look for the issues that hard water in the Hobbs area tends to cause before they turn into a cold shower or a flooded utility room. If your unit is making popping or rumbling sounds, running out of hot water faster than it used to, or showing white residue around fixtures, an inspection can tell you exactly where things stand. Call Galactic Plumbing Gas to schedule your water heater inspection in Hobbs today.

I would not hesitate to hire these guys again! They went above and beyond with their level of customer service and quality of their work! Their estimate for the job came in substantially lower than the other company too! If you need a plumber you should definitely call Galactic Plumbing and Gas!
