water heater service

Water heater service
Is not something most people ever do. Most people buy a water heater and use it till either it cracks in half and floods the home or till it stops providing hot water.

Water heater service can mean a few things. One type of water heater service will clean out the burners of a gas water heater. Cleaning out the burners is just about never done. When your water heater is located in a laundry room lint and debris get into the burners and clogg them. Removing the lint and cloggs is always a good idea as there can be no good clean combustion when the burners and vents are clogged with debris.

Another way to service a water heater is to turn off the power and or gas to it. Shut the water supply off to the water heater. Drain the water heater and replace the anode. The anode is installed to help stop water heater corrosion. If the anode is replaced it is said to prolong the useful life of the water heater.

How many people replace the anode. Well none may not be the correct answer I am willing to bet it is close to 100% corrrect. Water heater service is a phrase few have ever thought about until the water heater cracks in half and is leaking all over the place.
