Here are some helpful tips and tricks to help you with Install, Replace, or Repair Water Heater

  • Maintenance: Once a year, test the temperature-pressure by lifting or depressing the pressure release (TPR) valve's handle and draining water from the overflow pipe. If no water drains out, shut off water, open a hot water faucet somewhere in the house, and replace the valve.
  • Buying: One consideration while buying a water heater its capacity. The more family members the greater the capacity needs to be. 30, 40, and 50 gallon tanks are the most common sizes although larger sizes may be required to meet needs of a bathtubs and long showers. Water heaters are available in a host of models like storage, instant, gas and solar-the instant electric water heater is cheap and can be used in a small area.
  • Energy Tips: Lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120°F. Electric water heaters often have two thermostats, one each for the upper and lower heating elements. These should be adjusted to the same temperature to prevent one element from doing all the work and wearing out prematurely.
  • Energy: Whenever possible, do not install the water heater in an unheated basement. Also try to minimize the length of the pipes that must be run to your bathroom and kitchen.
  • Question: Which models of water heaters are highly efficient and what are their energy factors?
    We do not have any specific product information or recommendation. However you can contact the manufacturers found on the Department of Energy contacts page and obtain the necessary information. And here’s a link to a consumer energy-savings guide: www.aceee.org/consumerguide/
  • Problem: Most problems with water heaters are announced by noises or by water that's either too hot or not hot enough. Often you can correct the problem yourself. A possible exception is a water leak, which may require professional service or tank replacement. Gas leaks call for immediate help from the utility company.
  • Safety: If steam or boiling water ever comes out of the valve or the hot water faucets, shut the heater off at once. If you ever hear a rumbling sound, assume the heater is overheating and turn it off.
