🔍 Water Heater Maintenance
Most water heaters fail years before they should — not from defects, but from neglect. Annual maintenance costs a fraction of a new unit and can add 5+ years to your heater's lifespan. In Plano's hard water environment, this isn't optional.
💰 The Math: Maintenance visit: ~$100-150. New water heater installed: $1,200-3,000+. A heater that lasts 12 years vs 8 years = one fewer replacement in your homeownership. It's not complicated.

Flush Frequency
With Plano's water hardness averaging 15+ grains per gallon, we recommend flushing tank water heaters annually. Tankless units need descaling every 12-18 months. Homes with water softeners can sometimes go longer.
