Water Heater Maintenance FAQ
How often should I have my water heater serviced?
We recommend annual maintenance for most homes. Alaska’s water quality and extreme temperatures can accelerate sediment buildup and component wear, so yearly service is especially important here. If you’ve never had your water heater serviced, schedule one as soon as possible.
What does water heater maintenance include?
Our maintenance visit includes a full inspection, tank flush to remove sediment, anode rod check and replacement if needed, T&P valve test, thermostat check, and burner or heating element inspection. For tankless systems, we also check for scale buildup in the heat exchanger and inspect sensors and flow components.
