Hot running water is both a need and a luxury.
There is little one can do from cooking to washing up when warm running water is not available, right?
Water heaters work 24/7 to bring us comfort and convenience, and that’s why they are an indispensable part of the home.
Don’t worry. We are not going to chime in an age-old adage about how prevention is better than cure. We aren’t that predictable.
Water heating systems are evaluated based on their efficiency: how much gas/electric do they require to heat a specific volume of water, how quick it is, and what percentage of energy is wasted in the heating process.
Efficiency, and thus the longevity of your heating system can be improved by one simple trick – insulation.
Covering the water heating system, including the pipes, helps conserve heat and reduce your utility bills.
Rust is the machine equivalent of wrinkles. Often rust gets so bad that it begins to show in the water that you use. Don’t let it get to that point.
Noises that cannot be fixed stem from issues in the pressure valve or the drip tube. These sounds must be addressed by getting a new water heater installed.
Watch out for leaking pipes, it could be a sign of a potential catastrophe. We have all heard about the person who went on vacation and came home to a flooded house. If it leaks, get it looked at.
What good is a water heater when it does not heat water? It could be a simple problem to fix or require a new system.
To check for the valve, lift the valve’s tab and let some water out. If water continues to flow despite closing the tab, it could mean a need for t&p valve replacement or dip tube replacement.
Water heating systems have an anode rode attached to them. Calcium builds on these rods that affect the system’s performance. Getting new rods for the anode water heater could be a move that saves you a couple of thousand bucks.
You knew we were going to ask you to clean up, didn’t you? In this line of work, we have seen hundreds of issues that could have been solved or would have never occurred if there was regular cleaning. Once every year, you can drain the water out of the tank and clean it to get rid of any sediments. Cleaning the tank surely beats hot water tank replacement cost!
Water heating systems are crafted to work round the clock and for years. However, sometimes they can get overworked too. Preventing a burnout is necessary. When the temperatures are warm outside, you might want to bring the heating system settings to their lowest, especially when you are away from your house and do not need running hot water.
