5 Essential Maintenance Tips for Your Water Heater:
Routine maintenance helps your water heater last longer and operate more efficiently.
- Flush the tank annually to remove sediment buildup. If you have hard water, flush every 6 months. This prevents overheating and improves efficiency.
- Check the anode rod every 2–3 years. Consider upgrading standard anode rod to extend the life expectancy of your heater.
- Set the temperature to 120°F to save energy and reduce mineral buildup.
- Inspect for leaks and corrosion around the base and connections regularly. Rust or water pooling means it’s time for repairs.
- Test the pressure relief valve annually to ensure its functioning properly.
