Water Heater Cleaning & Maintenance

[seoxeee]

Water heaters are one of the more important household appliances we have in our home. Consisting of a gas or electric heating unit, located under a tank which heats up our water and stores it for our everyday use. Maintaining your water heater isn't a tedious task, but rather a vital necessity for your home needs. In this telhadista, we will discuss benefits to maintaining your water heater.

CLEANING BENEFITS

When is the last time you cleaned your heater's tank? Most people have went years without ever removing the thick layers of sediment that develops on the bottom of our tanks. This isn't necessarily a good practice, experts say you must empty your home's water heater at least once a year to keep clean water in your home flowing. If you want to be on top of it, we recommend going above and beyond and doing more frequently cleaning and removing of sediment from your tank.

DECREASE YOUR COST

In addition to all the positive benefits listed above, cleaning and maintain your heater will reduce your utility bill. When the water tank is dirty and not cleaned, your appliance will use much more power and work harder to heat your water. This in return causes your utility bill to raise due to amount of energy consumption.

MORE HOT WATER

When you clean your water heater's tank, you will also see an increase in hot water. If you keep feeling like there isn't enough hot water coming through your home, then it's probably due to a lack of cleaning. When you don't routinely clean your water heater, you will lose about half of your hot water that your tank can provide. The nasty stuff not being cleaned will take up the space needed for water to fill up, which in return costs you in having less hot water.

HEALTH BENEFITS

If you notice more dry and itchy skin when taking showers in your home, it could be caused by the contaminated minerals left in your water heater. When your tank isn't cleaned periodically, you can start to grow sediments in your tank that will lead out of your faucets, shower heads, causing reactions to your body and skin. It is best to have your tank cleaned more than twice a year, the more you clean your water tank, the better quality of water you will receive for your home.
