“Whether you have a gas or electric heater, sediment buildup represents a serious problem. Experts recommend that you drain and flush the tank once a year to keep it in good condition and extend its life. Fall is a good time to flush the tank if you haven’t done so already.
You can expect to pay between $100 and $200 if you hire a professional for this service.”
Read this story and what can happen if you don’t flush your water heater here.
Flushing your water heater will clear out any buildup of sediments and minerals. While you may attempt to do this yourself, just realize that the water, pipes, and other components will likely be very hot! If flushing an electric heater, make certain to turn off the breaker connected to it.
