Cleaning a gas water heater is a crucial maintenance task that ensures the safe and efficient operation of your water heater. Over time, sediment and debris can accumulate in the tank and burner assembly, leading to reduced water flow, higher energy bills, and potential safety hazards.
Regular cleaning can extend the lifespan of your water heater, improve its performance, and prevent costly repairs. It is recommended to clean your gas water heater every 12-18 months, or more frequently if you have hard water.
