Water Heater Maintenance
Extending the Life of Your Water Heater
Most water heaters last 8 to 12 years. Flushing the tank once a year removes sediment and improves efficiency.
Check the temperature setting on your tankless water heater or storage tank. Setting it to 120 degrees Fahrenheit can save energy.
