Water Heater Maintenance & Tips
Regular maintenance can extend the life of your water heater and help prevent costly breakdowns. We recommend:
- Flushing tank-style water heaters once a year to remove sediment buildup (especially important with Salem’s moderately hard water)
- Checking and replacing anode rods as needed
- Scheduling annual safety inspections, especially for older units
Most tank water heaters last about 10-15 years, while tankless models can run for 20 years or more with proper care.
