Your water heater works hard every single day - and a little maintenance goes a long way toward keeping it running efficiently.
Flush the tank once a year to clear out sediment that builds up at the bottom and reduces heating efficiency. Check the pressure relief valve annually to make sure it is functioning properly. Set your water temperature to 120F - hot enough for comfort and hygiene, but not so high that it wastes energy or creates a scalding risk.
These simple steps can add years to your water heater's life.
Note: If you are unsure how to perform any of these steps, it is always best to have a licensed plumber handle it.
