Getting the Most Out of Your Water Heater
As a homeowner, you probably want to make your water heater last as long as possible and keep it from running up the cost of your energy bill. There are several ways to accomplish these goals while also ensuring that your water heater meets your needs.
The first step toward accomplishing these goals involves following the advice above and choosing the right water heater for your needs. Our technicians can help you select an efficient water heater that is built to last.
Once you have the right water heater, you will want to take some time to determine what temperature is best suited for your needs. In many cases, water heaters come with a default temperature setting of 140 degrees Fahrenheit. That said, temperature settings can range from 115 degrees to 160 degrees, which largely depends on the water heater you buy.
If energy efficiency and burn prevention is your main concern, then you will want to set your water heater temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit or less. On the other hand, temperatures closer to 140 degrees Fahrenheit could be more suited to your needs if your household uses a lot of hot water or you are primarily concerned with killing germs and bacteria.
To keep your water heater running as long as possible, you will want to familiarize yourself with common repairs and services the unit you purchase may require. Some hot water units require flushing at times, which is not an easy task to do on your own. Call a qualified technician if your unit needs flushing or another common repair, and pay attention to the signs that your water heater needs a service.
If you are mostly concerned with saving money on utility bills, then you should consider taking advantage of some simple household upgrades. Efficient shower heads can keep your water heater from using too much fuel, and water heater insulation can improve the efficiency of certain units. Remember to repair leaky faucets and turn off faucets when they are not needed, since that type of waste adds up over time and can cost you significant amounts in the long run.

Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repairs
By paying a little bit of attention to how your water heater is operating, you can get repairs before they cause bigger issues. One of the most common signs that your water heater isn’t working properly is irregular water temperature. If the temperature of your water fluctuates in the shower or while you are doing dishes, then it might be time to contact Above and Beyond.
Similarly, running out of hot water quickly is an indication that your unit is struggling to work at capacity. Other signs include water discoloration, puddles by your tank, or unusual noises coming from your system. All of these are good reasons to call a technician and see whether your system is in need of repairs.
