Do you get your water heater serviced & flushed every year?

It helps maintain your unit since it helps flush out any sediments & build-up.

No. It seems cheaper to just replace the water heater every six or seven years.

It costs $100 for a drain & flush and about $540 for a new installation.

@ScottR lack of maintenance means voided warranty

@ScottR What??? So $4000-$6000 is cheaper than getting it serviced yearly? 😳

@marsbar I can get one cheaper than 6,000.

@ScottR tankless is the way to go

Sorry but you are making little sense. Do you own a hose!@ScottR

Yes you can and labor and service call can easily double the price.@ScottR

@Oster1 it depends on the placement. It can be just a one hour job if it’s sitting in the corner of your garage and easily accessible.

Yes, I understand. I’m in construction, development and properties.😊@ScottR
