Have you flushed or drained your hot water heater recently? To flush a water heater, a technician will attach a hose to the drain valve and turn it on in order to transfer the hot water. This process typically takes a few minutes, and it nearly resets your water heater. For draining, the water supply must be shut off, and then the draining itself takes a good amount of time. This makes flushing the optimal choice. If you need your hot water heater maintained by an expert, contact our team at Harts Services Pine Street today!
