No checklist from a generic blog. A plan for your specific equipment.
That’s a Rheem Performance Plus 50-gallon gas water heater, manufactured March 2018 based on the serial.
It’s about 6 years old. Average lifespan for this model is 10–12 years, so you’re in the back half — worth staying on top of.
Do this first: the anode rod is due for inspection. It’s the single biggest thing for extending the unit’s life. A sediment flush is worth doing too if you never have.
Why it matters: the anode rod is a $30 part. Letting it go can cut 3–5 years off the heater — a $1,500+ replacement.
Want me to remind you to check this next spring?

Furnace, water heater, AC, dishwasher — send a photo of any label or ask a question. House Goblin reads the model, figures out what matters, and tells you what to do first.
Every reminder tells you what it prevents. A $30 anode rod inspection prevents a $1,500 water heater replacement. A 10-minute condenser cleaning prevents a $400 AC service call. Small tasks, real savings.
Model numbers, filter sizes, install dates, service history — captured once and there whenever you need it. No more digging through drawers during a breakdown or repeating yourself to every new contractor.
Email a photo of any label — furnace, AC, water heater, dishwasher, anything with a sticker. Or skip the photo and just describe what’s going on. Send it to goblin@devmail.housegobl.in.
House Goblin identifies your equipment, pulls the model details, and writes back with what matters first, what it costs, and what it prevents.
Reminders only when something actually matters — 1–2 emails a month, max. One click to mark done or snooze. Pause anytime.
Real questions, in plain language. No forms.
The whole thing starts with one photo. Send it to goblin@devmail.housegobl.in and see what comes back.
