Smart Maintenance Tips to Extend Your Water Heater’s Lifespan

Your water heater works daily to provide comfort, yet it’s often overlooked until something goes wrong. With smart maintenance, you can extend its life, reduce energy costs, and avoid unexpected breakdowns.

Essential Water Heater Care Tips

  • Drain Sediment Buildup – Flushing the tank yearly prevents corrosion and improves heating efficiency.

  • Check Anode Rod – Replacing a worn rod protects against rust inside the tank.

  • Insulate Tank & Pipes – Increases efficiency and maintains heat longer.

  • Inspect Temperature Settings – Keep it at 120°F for safety and energy savings.

  • Schedule Professional Inspections – Annual checks help identify small issues before they turn major.
