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

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

People just don’t understand. One can repair a water heater and no need to replace. Even replacing a heating element. Cut the power, Turn the water off and drain the tank. Loosen two wires per element that you buy yourself. With a pipe wrench or large pliers unscrew the old. Put in the new element, attach wires, turn on water, turn on power panel and done. It is a very simple device and can last decades with no need to install a new one. This is the biggest money maker for a plumber. Learn from YouTube, save money and be proud that you did. Yes, you can do this. Take that thousand dollars and pay down the mortgage. Same for putting in dishwashers, etc. This stuff can be very easy to do.Trust me!

@Oster1 My handy male friend on here keeps encouraging me to do things myself too.

Yes! Plumbing is all about gravity and connections. There has been so many advances, a kid can do it. There are these new connectors to repair anything now. Long gone are the days of pipe fitters and threaders. This stuff is a fun hobby now. Take that money and prepay down the mortgage!😊🌷@marsbar
