Have you ever stepped into an ice cold shower? We rely on our water heaters everyday to keep us living comfortably in our homes. The water heater in our home may be hidden from view, but do not forget about the regular maintenance it needs to continuously work for you properly.
1. Control the Setting
We recommend calling your experienced heating technician to set your water temperature and perform routine maintenance. Our technicians know the correct setting for your water heater to perform at its best while also maintaining its efficiency.
2. Provide Insulation
Trained technicians know the correct type of insulation to wrap your water heater in to provide additional protection and heat absorption.
3. Install a Water Softener
This will be something your technician will also recommend when performing routine maintenance on the water heater in your home. A water softener helps prevent regular wear and tear on the hot water heater, in addition to preventing mineral deposits.
4. Allow the Water Heater Space
Your water heater needs space to make sure it is performing at its best possible efficiency. Do not worry about this yourself, your technician will install your water heater correctly. Just make sure not to store things near it. We know basements can pile up with old items and boxes, make sure to keep them at least two feet away from your water heater.
These are just a few quick tips on good routine habit water heater maintenance in your home. If you have any questions regarding your water heater please feel free to get in touch with us right away. We look forward to working with you.
