Tips on Properly Maintaing The Water Heater in Your Home

Your water heater is one of the easiest appliances in your home to ensure it stays in tip top shape, did we mention it's also really simple? There are things that need to be done for the water heater just as any other appliance in order to keep it in tip top shape. These things are far less expensive and can go a long way to expand the life of your water heater.

Insulation is probably this biggest part of your water heater instillation, however this should not have to replaced unless it gets damaged in some way. Ensuring you have insulation will reduce the amount of time the water heater has to heat and also preserve the heat that is there. This ensures the heat stays in the tank as long as possible and the tank works the least amount as possible. Sediment is another part of instillation and that should not need to be replaced for the life of the water heater. While both of these are very important there is normally no reason to replace for the entire life of the water heater. Those are the best tips of the water heater, once completed at instillation no need to repeat! This is a favorite for every home owner!

The best tip to keep your water heater in the best shape is the drain it two times a year. This will flush out all of the rust and any other impurities that have found a new home inside your water heater. Most times we have no way of knowing this is happening until we drain our tank. Also while you have the water heater drained you should check the anode rod to ensure it is still in pretty good shape! If not feel free to replace it! Without this rod the water corrodes the tank much faster than intended.

In all actuality your water heater is one of the easiest appliances to keep in tip top shape, there is not a lot that needs to be done once the instillation has been completed successfully you are good to go.
