Water Heaters
While providing the best plumbing, air conditioning, and electrical service available for over 20 years in South Carolina, our technicians have become experts on water heaters. Your water heater is one of the most used fixtures of your home, creating comfort for showers, baths, washing dishes and much more. It is also true, however, that this fixture can be very costly, being used everyday all year round. Taking precautions with your water heater can save you money in energy and repairs. Below are just a few cost-saving tips to help you get the most out of your water heater.
Save water-heating costs by following these simple tips:
Repair your leaky faucets promptly; a leaky faucet will waste gallons of water in only a short period of time.
Buy a new energy saving water heater. It may cost more initially than a standard water heater, but the energy savings will continue throughout the lifetime of the appliance.
Although most water heaters last 10-15 years, it's a good idea to start shopping for a new one if yours is more than 7 years old.
Install non-aerating low-flow faucets and showerheads throughout your home.
Shower more than you bathe. Bathing uses the most hot water in the average household.You use 15-25 gallons of hot water every time you take a bath, but less than 10 gallons are used for a 5-minute shower.
Lower the thermostat on your water heater. Todays newer water heaters come from the factory with temperature settings around 120°F. This temperature will provide comfortable hot water for most uses. An older water heater or one that has been improperly maintained may have a temperture setting above 120°F. A higher temperature setting wastes energy and can be dangerous for small children.
