Why Should You Drain Your Water Heater?

Your water heater is an often overlooked part of your home, but just like any appliance, it needs regular maintenance in order to stay in good condition.  

Your home's tap water is filled with sediments and minerals, such as calcium and lime.  Overtime, these particles can build in the bottom of your water heater tank. If these sediments aren't removed, they can cause your water heater to work harder and shorter the life span of your system,

By draining your water heater once a year, you can improve the energy efficiency of your water heater and save money in the long term!
