        "text": "Most water heater manufacturers and plumbing experts recommend professional maintenance at least once a year. Regular annual service helps extend the lifespan of your unit, prevents unexpected breakdowns, and maintains energy efficiency. For homes in the Las Vegas area, hard water can lead to mineral buildup, making annual flushing particularly important to prevent sediment accumulation that reduces efficiency and damages components over time.",
