Regular water heater maintenance can extend the life of your unit, improve efficiency, and prevent unexpected breakdowns. For GTA homeowners, where water quality varies, maintenance is especially important.
Why Maintenance Matters
Sediment buildup at the bottom of your water heater tank reduces efficiency, increases energy costs, and can lead to premature failure. Regular flushing removes this sediment and keeps your system running efficiently.
Maintenance Checklist
- Flush the tank annually to remove sediment
- Test the pressure relief valve
- Check the anode rod and replace if corroded
- Set the temperature to 120°F for safety and efficiency
- Inspect for leaks around the base of the unit
