Your water heater works constantly to supply hot water, but without regular maintenance, it can lose efficiency or fail unexpectedly. Draining the tank once a year helps remove sediment buildup that causes overheating and reduces lifespan. It’s also smart to check the temperature setting—120°F is ideal for safety and efficiency. If your water heater is over 10 years old, consider having it inspected to avoid surprise breakdowns.
