Annual maintenance is like an oil change for your water heater — it keeps small issues from turning into major problems. 

Our comprehensive water heater tune‑up covers all critical components:

• ✅ Tank flushing to remove sediment buildup
  — Sediment buildup reduces efficiency and can shorten your unit’s lifespan.
   
• 🔎 Inspection & calibration of thermostat and heating elements
  — Ensures your heater keeps water at the correct temperature.
   
• 🧪 Pressure relief valve test
  — Verifies this important safety feature works correctly.
   
• 🛡 Anode rod inspection & replacement if needed
  — This component helps prevent tank corrosion.
   
• 👀 Leak, corrosion & safety check
  — We inspect fittings, valves, and connections for signs of leaks or wear.
   

We service both standard tank‑type heaters and tankless water heaters, tailored to your system’s needs. 

Most manufacturers and HVAC professionals recommend a professional maintenance visit at least once a year — ideally before heavy seasonal use.

Homes with hard water or older systems may benefit from even more frequent maintenance to reduce sediment buildup and corrosion.

How often should a water heater be serviced?
A professional maintenance check is recommended at least once a year to maintain performance and safety. 

Does maintenance improve efficiency?
Yes — flushing sediment, calibrating thermostats, and checking components helps your heater run more efficiently and can lower utility costs.

While homeowners can perform basic checks, a professional tune‑up ensures all critical systems (like pressure valves and anode rods) are properly inspected and tested.
