5 Water Heater Maintenance Tips That Extend Its Life
Regular maintenance can add years to your water heater's lifespan. Here are five simple things you can do to keep it running efficiently.
Why It Matters
Hard-water minerals common in many North Carolina systems can reduce efficiency and shorten heater life without routine service.
Recommended Actions
Flush sediment from the tank at least once a year.
Check the anode rod every 2-3 years.
Test the pressure relief valve for proper function.
Set temperature to a safe, efficient level (about 120F).
Schedule professional inspection if you hear popping or see rust-colored water.
