This water heater maintenance checklist guides you through safe and effective upkeep to extend equipment life and reduce breakdowns. Turn off the unit and allow water to cool before starting. Inspect temperature and pressure relief valves and verify recommended pressure levels. Drain and flush the tank to remove sediment that reduces heating efficiency. Check the anode rod for corrosion and replace if necessary to protect the tank lining. Refill the tank carefully and purge air before restoring power. Use the checklist to capture photos, record issues, and note corrective actions for clear maintenance records.
