How to Care for Your Hot Water Heater
The typical water heater works hard to provide you and your family with hot water day and night; however, all of that hard work takes a toll on the system, which can cause it to fail prematurely. Here are some tips to keep your water heater in tip-top shape and extend its lifespan as long as possible.
One of the easiest ways to keep your water heater in the best shape is to adjust the thermostat to 120 degrees or lower. It’s estimated that you can save 5% in energy costs for every 10 degrees you lower the temperature, and you reduce the risk of scalding hot water.
Another way to protect your water heater, especially if you have an older model, is to insulate it with a fiberglass jacket to improve efficiency.
Lastly, flush the tank once a year to clear out sediment and prevent it from building up. Sediment buildup over time decreases your water heater’s efficiency and reduces its lifespan.

Benefits of a Point of Use Water Heater
Maybe you’ve never considered a tankless water heater, or you’ve heard about them but are still skeptical about their abilities. If you’re in the market for a new water heater, here are a few reasons to consider upgrading to a tankless design.
- Tankless water heaters save money on your energy bill by using 30 to 50% less energy than traditional water heaters, which means the average family can save hundreds of dollars every year.
- Tankless water heaters also save on water by heating water on an as-needed basis rather than filling a large tank and keeping it hot and ready for use. On-demand hot water is much more energy-efficient than tank-style water heaters.
- Perhaps the biggest advantage of on-demand water heaters is that you get instant, unlimited hot water, so you don’t have to worry about running out during your morning shower.
- Lastly, tankless water heaters take up much less space in your house than traditional water heaters, making them ideal for smaller homes, apartments, or places where you want to maximize your space.
