Water Heater Maintenance
Annual flushing and anode inspection to extend the life of your unit and keep the warranty valid.
Water Heater Maintenance, explained plainly.
Sediment builds up in the tank, insulating the burner from the water and shortening the heater's life. An annual flush, anode rod inspection and relief valve test keeps efficiency up, prevents rumbling and popping, and satisfies most manufacturer warranties.
