HOW OFTEN SHOULD I FLUSH MY WATER HEATER TANK?

Like any appliance in your home, your water heater needs regular attention in order to ensure it is operating correctly and extend its lifespan. Flushing your water heater’s tank once per year can help to remove sludge and sediment from the inside of your tank that can cause it to malfunction. Depending on the quality of the water in your area, more frequent flushes may be warranted.

FAQs

What can I do if there's a leak until a plumber arrives?

Shut the water off by turning the valve that’s closest to your water heater off. It’s also a good idea to soak up as much water as possible to prevent damage to your home.

What's involved with water heater maintenance?

Typically, maintenance involves flushing the tank at least once a year to remove excess minerals. If you have a conventional water heater, the anode rod should be checked at every few years as well.

What is a tankless water heater and when should I consider one?

Tankless water heater units give you hot water on demand without the need to store the water in a tank. Whether or not you’ll benefit from one depends on factors such as the size of your home and your average hot water needs.

What choices do I need to make with a water heater installation?

You’re welcome to consider a tankless unit or a traditional one for your next water heater installation. You’ll also want to make sure your new water heater is correctly sized for your home and needs to optimize efficiency. Also, newer models have more insulation, which further enhances your savings potential.

When is water heater replacement the better option?

Consider replacing the water heater you have if it’s older, in need of repairs more often, or damaged to the point where repairs are no longer cost-effective
