It is advised that you have your water heater serviced by a professional at least once per year. This will help to ensure that your water heater is running efficiently, safely and reliably. During this service, the professional will typically inspect all components of the system, flush out any sediment build-up, adjust any settings such as temperature or pressure relief values (if necessary) and check for potential leaks.

They may also recommend a water quality test if they find high levels of contaminants in the system or suggest an upgrade to improve efficiency. Doing so on an annual basis helps to minimize breakdowns and costly repairs while providing peace of mind knowing that your hot-water supply is in optimal working condition all year round.
