Flushing Your Water Heater: The Key to Home Comfort and Energy Efficiency

Cool Today Urges Homeowners to Prevent Sediment Buildup and Extend Water Heater Lifespan

A water heater is one of the most essential and heavily used appliances in the home—responsible for supplying hot water for bathing, cleaning, cooking, and everyday comfort. However, many homeowners are unaware that sediment and mineral buildup inside the tank can quietly undermine performance and shorten the system’s lifespan.

Cool Today is raising awareness about the importance of annual water heater flushing, a simple yet crucial maintenance step that keeps systems running efficiently and prevents costly breakdowns.

Sediment Buildup: The Hidden Issue Impacting Performance

In Florida, hard water containing minerals such as calcium and magnesium can accumulate at the bottom of the water heater tank. Over time, this sediment layer can:

• Reduce heating efficiency and increase utility costs
• Cause rumbling, popping, or banging noises
• Lead to overheating and premature wear
• Create cloudy or foul-smelling water

Ignoring these warning signs can result in expensive repairs—or even early system replacement.

How Often Should Homeowners Flush Their Water Heater?

Cool Today recommends flushing most water heaters once per year. Homes with very hard water or signs of performance issues—such as inconsistent hot water or unusual noises—may benefit from more frequent maintenance.
