What is included in water heater maintenance?
Our maintenance visit covers the checks that keep a water heater safe and efficient:

- Descaling tankless units and cleaning inlet filters
How often should I flush my water heater in Douglas County?
Because much of Douglas County has moderately hard to hard water, we recommend flushing a tank water heater once a year. Homes with very hard water or a lot of hot water use may benefit from every six to nine months. Tankless units should be descaled about once a year, or more often if scale builds up quickly.
What does an anode rod do?
The anode rod is a metal rod inside the tank that corrodes in place of the steel tank. It is sacrificed over time, and once it is used up the tank itself starts to rust. Checking the anode every couple of years and replacing it when it is worn is one of the cheapest ways to extend the life of a tank water heater.
Does maintenance affect my water heater warranty?
Many manufacturers require regular maintenance, such as annual descaling of tankless units, to keep the warranty valid. Damage caused by scale buildup is often not covered. Keeping a simple maintenance record protects your warranty and helps you catch small problems before they become expensive.
Can maintenance help an older water heater last longer?
Yes, within limits. Regular flushing and anode replacement slow corrosion and keep efficiency up, which often adds years of service. Once a tank shows rust in the water or leaks from the body, maintenance cannot reverse the damage. For heaters over 10 years old, a maintenance visit also gives you an honest read on how much life is left.
Should I sign up for yearly maintenance?
If you tend to forget annual tasks, scheduling maintenance at the same time each year is the easiest way to stay on track. Many homeowners pair it with fall winterizing, so the water heater is ready for the high demand of colder months.
