With 20mm of snow covering the streets of Waltham, there’s nothing better than a hot shower to shake off the Massachusetts chill. But have you ever wondered how hard your water heater is working right now? When the ground freezes, the water entering your home is near freezing point, forcing your system to work overtime.
Recently, we received an emergency call from a homeowner near Bentley University. Their water heater simply couldn’t keep up with the sub-zero temperatures, leaving a family of four without hot water right in the middle of a snowstorm.

A quick tune-up or a professional flush can be the difference between a cozy winter evening and a cold, expensive disaster.
