🚰 PRO TIP: Water Heater Maintenance

Your water heater works hard every day. A little maintenance extends its life and saves energy:

🔎 Inspect Annually

  • Check for leaks, rust, or unusual noises.
  • Test the pressure relief valve for proper operation.

💦 Drain Sediment

  • Once a year, drain a few gallons to remove sediment from the tank.
  • Sediment buildup reduces efficiency and shortens lifespan.

🌡️ Set Temperature

  • Keep water heater at 120°F (49°C) for safety and efficiency.
  • Hotter settings waste energy and increase burn risk.

🧯 Bonus Tip

  • Insulate hot water pipes and the tank (if older) to save on energy bills.

👉 Remember: Your water heater works hard every day.
