"This wasn’t going to be an easy change out. I was going through my home warranty and the plumbing company they were using had to much work involved and their prices were way too high. So I found HRWS here and talked to Jason and he sounded like he knew what he was doing, I didn’t get any extra work and prices so I decided to go with them. The change out was quick and Jason was very professional, knew what he doing, got the job done . The work was done in a very good workman like manner. Definitely going to use their service again."

Water heater repair or services FAQs

Flushing your water heater helps prevent mineral deposits from building up. It removes sediment that would otherwise insulate the heating element and slow heat transfer. Proactive maintenance ensures that your water heater maintains a consistent temperature while operating efficiently and extends its lifespan so you have a long-term, dependable hot water source.

Plan on flushing your water heater once a year. If you have hard water with high calcium levels, consider flushing it twice a year to keep it running smoothly. Regular flushing helps prevent sediment buildup, ensures that reliable hot water is readily available, and extends the life of your water heater.

If you notice unusual noises from your water heater, inconsistent water temperatures, rusty or cloudy water, leaks near the drain valve, or higher utility bills, it's time to flush your water heater. These signs indicate that sediment buildup is affecting your heater’s performance. Professional flushing service can help restore your water heater’s efficiency and prevent further issues.
