Why We Recommend Regular Water Heater Flushes

Monday, December 26th, 2022

A water heater is a powerful appliance that you and your family rely on almost every day in your home. Any device that does that much work requires occasional maintenance to keep it in good working order. We recommend you schedule water heater service in Rockville, MD once a year for your water heater.

One of the maintenance jobs for a water heater is a tank flush. This isn’t necessarily done every year during maintenance, but your water heater does require it at least every few years. You can find instructions online for doing a tank flush on your own, but we don’t recommend this—the process is too complicated and requires numerous special parts. Our technicians can get the job done fast and accurately.
