Here\u2019s what things could look like without maintenance: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You hop in the shower on a cold, winter morning and start lathering\nup. You\u2019re taking the chill off yourself on a cold morning and it feels great. Then,\nall of a sudden, halfway through the shower you start to feel like the water is\ncooling off a little. Then *bam* the water is freezing cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later that day, you\u2019re sorting through and getting ready to pay your bills. You notice that your water bill is higher than it\u2019s ever been before. This is odd because nothing about your home\u2019s operation or your water use has changed at all. You can\u2019t figure out the cause and then all of a sudden it clicks\u2014your water heater is struggling. An unmaintained water heater full of sediment is going to cost you more per month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, you\u2019re not going to get the service you want from a water heater that hasn\u2019t had seasonal maintenance.
