🔍 Water Heater Maintenance
Annual maintenance is the difference between a water heater lasting 8 years and one lasting 15+. Arlington's water isn't the hardest in Texas, but minerals still accumulate. Regular service catches problems early and keeps your system efficient.
💰 Simple Math: Annual maintenance: ~$120-150. New water heater installed: $1,500-3,500. Extending your heater's life by even 3-4 years through maintenance pays for itself many times over.
