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.
Two days ago I received a notice that I needed to replace my hot water heater due to its age ( 2002 original) my new insurance company would not insure if this isn’t done. Thinking of tankless. Any suggestions? We have gas.
