How Often Should You Flush Your Water Heater?

If you want your hot water heater to keep working well, it’s best to flush your water heater once a year by a professional. Central Texas has hard water, which means minerals can build up in your traditional tank over time, causing:

  • Higher energy bills because your heater has to work harder
  • Popping or knocking sounds from trapped boiling water
  • Running out of hot water faster than usual
  • Possible damage leading to costly plumbing repairs
