How much does it cost to clean a gas water heater?

[zihadhosenjm40]

Cleaning a gas water heater from scale depends on the degree and thickness of the layer formed, the structure and chemical composition. The heat exchanger is dismantled from the main structure and freed from residual water. Pour in a folk remedy for cleaning the water heater - vinegar. Leave for 6-8 hours

Where and how to order gas water heater cleaning
In order to ensure trouble-free operation of the gas water heater, it is necessary to undergo its regular maintenance on time, at least once a year. This recommendation is not taken from the head, but is rcs data in the operating instructions. If you need gas water heater cleaning services, then contact us. The GazService company provides preventive and current repairs of the water heater. If necessary, we will clean and flush the gas water heater. We flush the heat exchanger with hot water and thoroughly clean it with a brush. At the same time, we remove scale from the inner surfaces of the tubes, flushing them with a weak solution of hydrochloric acid or vinegar.

Annual cleaning of the gas water heater should be performed by trained technicians using branded consumables. Self-cleaning and repair of the gas water heater can have the opposite effect, namely, completely put the device out of working order.

I don't know what kind of water heater you have, a modern, "tricked out" one, or an old classic one. If it's an old, classic one, then most likely the Venturi tube (in the regulator) is clogged. If there's a handy man in the house, he can disassemble and reassemble the water heater, or rather not even the entire water heater, but only remove the regulator that blocks the gas supply to the burner when the water flow is insufficient. It has a metal tube, the internal cross-section of which first narrows and then expands. This is the Venturi tube, and most likely this narrow spot is clogged with scale. You need to flush this Venturi tube with a citric acid solution, pass it through the tube many times until it passes with sufficient speed. If necessary, renew the acid solution. After flushing, put the regulator back in place. It's better not to touch the other parts of the regulator.

If the reason is exactly what I described, then, in my opinion, the cleaning work will cost about 2.5-3 thousand rubles. Of course, the cost of the work is determined by the size of the city. The larger the city, the higher the average salary, and accordingly, the cost of cleaning will be higher.
