Preventive Maintenance

Routine maintenance for water heaters is pretty simple. We’ll check your unit for built-up sediment and flush it, which prevents premature wear and tear. We’ll also check the anode rod, which is a component of your water heater that helps keep it from developing rust. Depending on your water quality, the anode rode can wear down slower or faster. It can even be susceptible to breaking but can typically be replaced easily.
