Top Signs Your Water Heater Needs a Tune-Up Before Winter

As temperatures drop, your water heater becomes one of the most essential appliances in your home. Ensuring it runs smoothly before winter helps you avoid cold showers, high energy bills, and unexpected breakdowns during the chilly months. Fall is the perfect time for a water heater tune-up, as it allows you to catch any issues early and have peace of mind all winter. If you're noticing issues, a plumbers in Rogers, AR can help with maintenance or repairs to get your water heater ready before winter hits. Here are the top signs your water heater might need attention and why it's smart to act now.

1. Inconsistent Water Temperature

If your hot water turns lukewarm halfway through a shower or struggles to maintain a steady temperature, it likely signals a water heater issue. Sediment buildup in the tank often causes this problem, as it insulates the water from the heating element, preventing it from reaching the desired heat. A professional tune-up can resolve this by flushing the tank to remove sediment and checking the heating elements for proper function.

2. Strange Noises Coming from the Tank

Unusual sounds like popping, rumbling, or banging from your water heater often indicate an underlying issue. Sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank is usually the cause, as trapped minerals can cause the water to overheat, creating noisy steam pockets. 

3. Water Takes Too Long to Heat Up

If hot water is taking longer than usual, your heater may be struggling to keep up, which can become more problematic as temperatures fall. Inefficient heating elements or sediment buildup are often to blame, as they force the water heater to work harder and heat water more slowly.

4. Water Discoloration or Rusty Water

Rusty or discolored water from your hot tap often signals corrosion inside the water heater, typically due to a degraded anode rod, which normally protects the tank from rust. Replacing the anode rod can improve water quality and extend the heater’s lifespan. However, if corrosion is widespread, a full replacement might be necessary.

5. Signs of Leaks or Moisture Around the Tank

Water around your heater usually indicates a leak, possibly from loose connections, a failing pressure valve, or even cracks in the tank. Leaks can stem from corroded pipes or worn-out valves, and a faulty pressure relief valve may also cause moisture buildup. A plumber in Rogers, AR can inspect and secure connections, replace any faulty valves, and determine if a tank replacement is needed for safe and efficient operation.

6. High Energy Bills

If your utility bills are rising without increased water usage, your water heater may be overworking due to inefficiencies. Older units or those with failing parts often use extra energy to maintain hot water, raising operating costs. A tune-up with efficiency checks, sediment flushing, and component testing can help optimize performance and potentially lower your bills.

7. Foul-Smelling or Metallic-Tasting Water

A sulfur-like, rotten egg smell or metallic taste in your hot water often points to bacterial growth or corrosion inside the tank. Bacteria can develop if the heater sits unused, while corroding metal parts can affect taste. Flushing and cleaning the tank can remove bacteria, and replacing the anode rod can prevent further corrosion, enhancing water quality and safety.

8. Aging Water Heater (10+ Years Old)

If your water heater is over ten years old, it might be time for a replacement or a detailed inspection to avoid breakdowns. Most heaters last 8-12 years, and older models often lose efficiency, become prone to leaks, and cost more to maintain. A plumber can evaluate its condition to determine if repairs will suffice or if a replacement would be more economical and energy-efficient.

Why Fall Is the Best Time for a Tune-Up

Taking care of your water heater in the fall has multiple benefits:

Avoid Peak Season Costs: Plumbers are often busiest in the winter months, and scheduling your tune-up in the fall means faster, often more affordable service.

Prepare for Increased Demand: During winter, hot water demand usually rises. Ensuring your heater is in peak condition means you won’t have to worry about it failing when you need it most.

Prevent Costly Winter Repairs: Catching issues early means avoiding emergency repair costs, which can be expensive and inconvenient during the coldest months.

Final Thoughts

A water heater tune-up is an investment that not only prolongs the life of your appliance but also ensures you’re prepared for the colder months. If you notice any of these warning signs, don’t wait—schedule an inspection with a professional plumber before winter hits.

I was reading excellent narumitsu fic (not safe for Tumblr, mind you) where Wright calls Edgeworth "buddy" after se×. My friend said something like "well, good thing that he didn't call him pal"

And I said " and then Gumshoe jumps out of the vent and says "HEY HEY, SAYING 'PAL' IS *MY* ENDEARING CHARACTER TRAIT" - he just spawns in their bedroom after being like "O, Mr Edgeworth, sir, didn't notice you here, are you two wrestling or smth?" "Who's winning "

Happy April Fools! To celebrate, I'm going to make a fool of myself and publish whatever the heck this is! I feel like Time is one of the Links I struggle writing the most. He's just very different from how I always imagined OoT/MM Link (but that might be because I never played Twilight Princess lol). This is my attempt at finding a happy medium between the two. (I know reader should be more "possessed" by the Fierce Deity, but, counterpoint: it's funny.)

Time x Reader - You Become the Hero of Termina

It had started as a nice walk through the forest. No monsters. Sunny weather.

Honestly, you should have known something would go wrong.

The group had just emerged from another portal. None of the chain recognized the surrounding area, so Time and Warriors had decided to walk until you found something.

Then it happened.

From out of the forest, a short scarecrow-looking creature jumped you. It was wearing a purple and red mask, shaped like a heart and sporting bone-like horns. It meant nothing to you, but the sight of it made Time’s blood run cold. He froze. The rest of the chain reached for weapons, ready to fight off whatever this thing was. Some of them recognized what it was. You didn’t. In the ensuing chaos, the creature made off with Epona.

You were never one to give up easily. Or maybe you were just insanely stupid. Whatever the case, as the thing tried to ride away on Epona, you managed to grab onto one of the saddle bags. Your knees hit the unforgiving dirt repeatedly as you flailed. Miraculously, your grip stayed firm. Unfortunately, that meant the creature dragged you deeper into the dense forest. The group could only watch as the fog swallowed you.

✧˖°˖☆˖°˖✧

Three days. That was how long you had to escape. That was how long you had to stop the moon from destroying everything.

Well, that’s not quite accurate. You had three days for as long as you needed. You’re just glad Time’s ocarina had been in one of the saddle bags. And that he had a habit of humming while hiking.

So, you learned the routines. You found the right pattern of events. You got really good at keeping a schedule. And then, finally, after countless resets, you entered the moon.

✧˖°˖☆˖°˖✧

One week. That was how long it took Twilight to follow your scent through the twisting forest that seemed to change directions on a whim. Even though Time kept pressing the group to go faster. To search harder.

To say he seemed frazzled was an understatement.

When the chain finally found the deep, dark void that led to Termina, they didn’t hesitate to jump in. They knew what might be waiting for them on the other side. Time had dredged up painful memories, talking long into the night, briefing them on just how bad the situation was.

They needed to find you. Even if they had to save the world. Again. (Legend complained that this was technically an adventure in an adventure, and the goddesses owed him overtime pay.)

Nothing could have prepared Time for what he saw when he finally pushed open the doors of the clock tower.

Clock Town was busy. Vibrant, even. People crowded the town square, dancing and laughing and acting as if the world would keep on going for quite a long time. Glancing up, it wasn’t hard to see why. The moon wasn’t where it should be, and by that, Time meant the moon was exactly where it should be: up in the sky, with the full intent to stay there.

A few of the boys almost made a joke about how worried Time had been. One look at his face quieted them.

His fists were shaking as he made his way through the crowds. He had spent how many years here? And to be back, but completely lost as to what to do? It felt like a slap in the face. Or a kick to the groin. He was half-tempted to scream at the heavens. To demand an answer from the goddesses. But he knew they wouldn’t answer.

“Guys!?” Time’s head snapped towards the familiar voice. Your voice. You had spotted them in the crowds of the Carnival of Time, wandering like lost children. You would have thought it cute if you hadn’t been so relieved to see them.

“Y/N!” Eight Links gasped. You were promptly crushed into a group hug.

Time stood still, watching as you laughed and chatted with the others about… something. He couldn’t quite bring himself to concentrate on what words were said. All he saw was how many calluses you seemed to have on your hands now. How many old scars you seemed to have that he swore weren’t there a few days ago. And the plethora of masks looped through your belt. He doesn’t notice when you shoo the chain away, encouraging them to have fun at the carnival and take the opportunity to stock up on supplies.

“Old man?” You lean into Time’s personal space, snapping him out of the… rather dark place his mind had wandered. “Staring is rude, ya know.”

“Apologies. I was merely… lost in thought.” Under any other circumstances, he would blush in such a situation. If only this were any other circumstance.

“No worries. I’m… sure it’s weird.” You give a strained laugh. How on earth were you supposed to talk about the massive elephant (or should you say moon?) in the room? Better to just rip off the bandaid now, you suppose. “You haven’t been here since you were a kid, right?”

“How do you–?” Time cuts himself off, a horrified look on his face. Ah. Bad idea. He never told you about his time in Termina. You’ve just had to guess from the cryptic dad lore he sometimes dropped and your own experiences. You’re half-inclined to shove your foot into your mouth to stop from saying something else as tactless as that. However, you persevere.

“Oh, sorry, I thought it was obvious,” You blush. “I mean… you’re named Time. And you have a time traveling instrument… for this time loop…” You gradually grow quieter, letting your sentences trail off. Your foot sure was looking tasty right about now. Thankfully, Time pulls himself together enough to carry his half of the conversation.

“Ah. I suppose it is a bit on the nose, isn’t it?” He smiles. It doesn’t reach his eyes. “If you mind me asking… How long have you been here?”

Oh. OH. Ohhhh crap.

“About a week,” you joke. He doesn’t seem amused. You try again. “I, uh, think I only reset about fifty times? But, one of those times I was stuck as a Deku Scrub, so that one totally doesn’t count. And I may have spent four cycles in the Great Bay Temple trying to figure out why the pipes wouldn’t turn on…”

“How could something like this even happen…?” Time sighs, dragging a hand down his face.

“My best guess is we’re in a version of your Hyrule when you were a kid? Maybe kid you is still in Hyrule, and he’ll never come to Termina?” you shrug. “Or, this is a timeline without you, and I got to fill in?”

“Every day the goddesses test my patience more and more,” he shoots a cross look heaven-ward before placing a heavy hand on your shoulder. “I’m glad you’re okay. And seem to be in high spirits. Let’s collect the group and get out of here.”

“About that…” you grin nervously. “I kind of have some loose ends to tie up here first?”

“Like what?”

“Like… sealing Stone Tower… again…” you scratch the back of your head nervously. Time arches an eyebrow, and you can pretty much guess what he’s thinking. You put up your hands defensively. “Hey, I’m a busy person! I got Twinmold’s remains, but this cycle I never got around to closing those doors.”

It was true. After Majora’s defeat, there were still people you needed to help. Of couse you helped defend Romani’s cows during the three days, and you stopped Sakon the thief from stealing from that poor old lady, but there was only so much you could do in 72 hours! You’d been running around Termina like a chicken with your head cut off trying to re-save as many people as possible.

“...Fine,” Time shakes his head, acting more like he’s agreeing to take a kid to go get ice cream than letting you go fight giant sky centipedes.

“Great,” you pull out your, er, Time’s ocarina, ready to play the song of soaring and warp to the top of Stone Tower. “Back in a jiffy!”

“No, I’m going with you,” he grabs your wrist, preventing you from putting the instrument to your lips. You look at him, confused. You’ve got this! You’ve done this before! Okay, technically he has, too, but you’ve done it more recently! You open your mouth to argue, before deciding better and snapping it closed. What’s the harm?

“Okay,” you agree.

The trip to Stone Tower is uneventful, but filled with a suffocating silence. You step onto the glowing, heart-shaped platform together, and close your eyes. When you open them again, you’re standing in the middle of a desert.

“Alright,” you crack your back, then reach for one of your newer masks. It was the last one you ever got. “What do you say we make this quick?”

“Wait, Y/N–!” Time reaches out to stop you, but it’s too late. The Fierce Deity mask sits snugly on your face. He stares up at you, your hair bleached white, eyes glowing with an untameable power. You’re taller now, the helix sword held loosely in your hand.

You smile and wink at him.

The mask speaks in your ear.

“Ugh, must you always be so annoying?” You groan. Time makes a confused face and you realize your mistake. “Oh! Sorry, not you! He talks.” You tap the side of your face, where the mask has fused itself to you. It says something again.

“Yes, yes, I get it. Blood and war and all that fun stuff. We’re here to fight the giant flying centipedes, alright?”

“You’re… in control?” Time sputters, absolutely flabbergasted at your… casual conversation with the deity. When he wore the mask, it was hard to think, much less speak. How were you doing this?

“Yeah?” You raise an eyebrow.

The mask speaks again, more insistent this time.

“Hey!” you scold. “Rude! Don’t test me, I will take you off and do this fight myself……..Yeah, that’s what I thought.”

“You can speak to him? And he’s… listening?” Time’s fingers brush over his own cheek, where he knows two angry red lines are forever etched into his skin. You wince at the reminder. Sure, it wasn’t your Fierce Deity that had done that, but still.

“Don’t worry,” you smile. Time can’t help but notice your sharper-than-normal canines. “I make sure to annoy him.”

He can’t find the words to respond.

The mask calls you a very… creative name. You choose to ignore it.

A roar sounds out across the desert, pulling your attention away from your two(?) companions.

The ground shakes as Twinmold rises from the sand.

That’s right.

You had a job to do.

“Alright, let’s make some bugs into corpses!” Your grin widens as you point a sword towards the flying monster. You feel someone else’s pure joy rush through your veins. Finally!

It takes two minutes to finish off the monster. A bit longer to get back to Clock Town. Time spends all of it in stunned silence.

It’s not until you’re back in Hyrule, walking through the forest with the rest of the chain that you remember.

“Oh! Time, here,” you reach into your pocket and pull out the ocarina. “Sorry, I kind of took it from your bag. You should have it back.”

He turns, stopping in his tracks on the trail, and stares down at the little instrument. Finally, he reaches forward, and closes your fingers around it. When he speaks, his words are barely above a whisper.

“Keep it.”

Drunk! Edgeworth hcs

can someone send me requests please (or am I in writer's block idk)

This man has a moderate alcohol tolerance, he drinks alcohol only when it is a party

He prefers drinking tea anytime over alcohol but he still drinks alcohol in parties

When he gets drunk it is very rare but it might happen sometime or another

So, he has the same personality as he has when he is sober but he is speaking more in a drunkish way

He’d be more affectionate with you, of course 

Here we are talking about him hugging you more often. And no , it isn’t some simple hug, this is about him holding you tight, like you will fade away if he lets go

And yes he might or might not (possibly not) sniff your neck and compliment your perfume of choice

‘’Your perfume…It smells nice…’’

‘’Thank you but why are you holding me like that? Are you drunk?’’

‘’Hngh..I am not drunk..’’

‘’Yeah yeah, your breath smells like alcohol’’

Would press drunken kisses on your forehead and lips

You have to stay sober to get this man home, no drinking too much alcohol 

He will keep denying the fact that he is drunk but it shows a lot that he is

He’d get more aggressive at others and more protective of you

NO, he would NOT be lustful when he gets drunk 

He can still walk but bring him home just in case you feel like he is sleepy 

When you bring him home make sure to put him in bed because you don’t know what drunk Edgeworth might do 

and yes cuddle him

Now when he wakes up sober make sure to brew him some tea just to get that headache off him 

You have to take care of him when he is drunk even if he will keep denying the fact that he isn’t

And yeah, he will keep denying the previous events saying that he ‘’doesn’t remember’’ while being embarrased 

He is so cute when he is drunk
