Sediment accumulates at the bottom of tank water heaters throughout the year and settles most heavily after the high-demand winter months. That layer of calcium and mineral buildup acts as a heat barrier between the burner and the water, forcing the unit to run 10 to 15% longer to reach temperature during summer's peak demand. On a water heater already past the eight-year mark, that sustained overwork accelerates element failure. Energy waste from sediment buildup adds $50 to $150 per year to operating costs even before a failure occurs.
Flushing a water heater once a year takes one hour. Replacing one after it fails takes most of a day and costs three times as much.
