Turn off power or gas first (if safe):Prolong the Life of Your Water Heater: Annual Flush + Analysis Check-Up & Multi-Point Inspection – #1 Recommendation
Sediment buildup from hard water in Raleigh-Durham and Upstate SC reduces efficiency, causes noises, and leads to failure. Annual professional service extends life, boosts efficiency, and catches issues early.
Have you searched “why is my electric bill so high” or “why is my gas bill so high” lately?
An aging or neglected water heater can increase your electric or gas bill by up to 40% as it becomes less efficient over time. It works harder to heat water, quietly costing you hundreds of extra dollars every year — often without you noticing until the bill arrives.
Our limited $99 special (regularly $199+) includes:
- Full draining and flushing of sediment
- Detailed analysis (anode rod, valves, pressure relief, efficiency/safety)
- Multi-point plumbing inspection (toilets, drains, shut-offs, sinks, fixtures)
- Written report with recommendations
