Recently saw an ad in The Villages for a Water Heater Tuneup for a price around $250. Having had a water heater problem (Gas) recently, I found that the Plumber's first observation was the age of the water heater (17) years. From that point, it was why spend money on an old water heater , buy new. I repaired myself with TOTV guidance for $35.

What would you expect a Water Heater tune-up to tune up? Make your water heater more efficient? Can't happen. Perhaps drain the tank? Ok. Drain your wallet? Yep!

My guess is that this is a totally deceptive ad and would challenge any company who offers this service to give a legitimate reason why this would be of value.
