I have a couple questions.

Gas/electric
If electric does this service include replacing the zinc rod(s), if so it’s an ok deal.
If gas, not so great of a deal. Do you have a neighbor that is moderately handy?
It’s a fairly simple process, hooking a garden hose up to the hot water heater, running the hose out to the street then opening the valve until the water runs clear.
