Electric water heater maintenance checklist template

A thorough maintenance check following this template typically takes 1-2 hours per unit, depending on tank size and sediment buildup. The flushing process requires the most time, especially for older units with significant sediment accumulation. Plan accordingly and consider scheduling during low-demand periods.

This checklist creates a standardized record of all maintenance performed, including dates, findings, and corrective actions. Complete each section thoroughly and save completed checklists on Lumiform. This documentation demonstrates due diligence for insurance requirements and regulatory compliance, while also establishing maintenance patterns for warranty claims.

Document all issues clearly in the checklist’s notes section. Minor problems like small leaks at threaded connections can often be fixed during maintenance. For more serious issues like pressure relief valve failures or heating element problems, schedule prompt professional repairs and note this in your documentation.
