Service · Maintenance
Annual care contracts that double tank life.
UAE water is hard on tanks. A scheduled anode and sediment programme is the single biggest lever you have.
Sediment flushing
Removes mineral build-up that insulates the element and burns it out.
Anode inspection
Replaced before the tank wall starts to corrode.
Element & thermostat
Tested under load — caught before they leave you cold.

FAQ
Maintenance questions UAE owners ask
Service intervals, what's included, and how maintenance keeps your warranty valid.
How often should a water heater be serviced in the UAE?
Annually for residential units, bi-annually for hard-water areas or high-usage villas, and quarterly for hotels and commercial properties. UAE water hardness shortens un-serviced tank life dramatically.
What does an SME maintenance visit include?
Anode rod inspection and replacement, Hydrojet® sediment flushing, element resistance and thermostat test, T&P valve test, pressure and flow log, and a written report.
Will maintenance void or preserve my Bradford White / Viessmann warranty?
Annual maintenance by an authorised partner like SME preserves manufacturer warranty. Skipping anode-rod inspection is the leading reason warranty claims are rejected.
Can I just call when there is a problem instead of a contract?
Yes — but contract customers get priority dispatch, fixed-rate pricing, no call-out fee, and a parts hold at our Ajman warehouse for their model.
Do you service commercial properties and hotels?
Yes. SME runs scheduled multi-unit programmes for hotels, schools, hospitals and towers across the UAE with engineer-on-site reports per visit.
