FAQ: Water Heater Maintenance

Most homes need annual flushing, but homes with hard water may benefit from more frequent service.

Yes! Tankless models need descaling and inspection to prevent mineral buildup.

Some tasks like visual inspection and temperature checks are DIY-friendly, but professional flushing and safety tests are recommended annually.

“We never realized how much sediment was in our tank until Eclipse came out for a tune-up. They flushed the system, checked all components, and our hot water has been more consistent since. Very professional!”

Local Job Highlight

In Heppner, we recently performed a full tune-up on a 9-year-old gas water heater. After flushing and testing the system, the customer saw a noticeable improvement in heating speed and consistency.
