Do you service tankless heaters?

Yes. Tankless units get a descaling flush rather than a sediment drain, and in Cedar Park and Leander water they need it yearly.

Is a flush risky on an old tank?

On a heater over ten years old that has never been flushed, a drain valve can fail. We tell you the risk before we open anything and stop if the tank looks compromised.

What temperature should it be set to?

120 degrees is the usual balance of safety and comfort. We set it there unless you ask otherwise.

Water heater flush and anode check in Austin, TX

Hard water sediment out before it kills the tank

Central Texas water is hard, and the sediment it leaves in a tank insulates the burner, wastes gas and shortens tank life by years. An annual flush plus an anode rod check is the difference between a heater that lasts eight years and one that lasts fifteen.

Flush annually, anode rod inspected every two to three years.
