Solve Plumbing Problems​
Inspect your home thoroughly and check if there are any kind of plumbing defects. Plumbing problems such as leaks from plumbing pipes and connection of fixtures, dripping faucets, toilet leaks, and hidden water leaks can result in unnecessary waste of hot water. Solve these problems by repairing or replacing the plumbing pipes and fixtures in order to conserve hot water.

Install Low-Flow Fixtures
A showerhead can provide 6 gallons of hot water per minute at an average, whereas a kitchen or bathroom faucets can provide 2-3 gallons of hot water per minute. In order to cut down the hot water usage, you can install low-flow faucets and showerheads in your home. These faucets and showerheads consume less water and save large quantities of water used every time you turn on your faucet or shower.

Use Hot Water Only When Necessary
Most of the times, there are certain tasks for which you can use cold water instead of hot water. Avoid using hot water for each purpose unless absolutely necessary. For example, you can use cold water in dishwashers and washing machine instead of hot water. Even cold water can clean your dishes and clothes effectively.

Take Shorter Showers
Although enjoying every moment spent under your shower may seem to be enjoyable, it can result in a lot of water wastage. One way to cut down your hot water usage is taking shorter showers. Limit your time under the shower and save about 20-30 gallons of hot water every day. You can also turn off the shower after soaping to save more hot water.
Consider installing a tankless water heater to conserve hot water as well as lower your energy usage. Tankless water heaters provide hot water only when needed and don’t consume energy to keep water hot all the time. Get in touch with Hot Water Tanks Edmonton for tankless water tank installation.

Prepare Your Water Heater For Winter

The winter is almost here. Temperatures are dipping and things around you are freezing up. After a long day of working and traveling through all that cold weather, you definitely look forward to going home and taking a hot bath. But what if your tap does not pour out hot water? This may be because your water heater was not prepared for the winter.

Here are a few things you need to consider in order to ensure your water heater is fully ready for the winter.

Clean The Tank
The tank which stores the water tends to have mineral residue and other sediments left behind due to the heating process of the water. This residue tends to cause clogging and corrosion within your tank also affect the water heater. Emptying the tank and cleaning it from time to time will not only ensure smooth functioning of the heater but also help you store clean residue-free water.

Re-Adjust The Heater Temperature
With a dip in temperature, the load on your water heater increases to heat the water to your desired temperature. Sometimes, the water heater is not capable of doing that. Hence you end up getting cold water even though you have a preset temperature. To avoid this problem, you could set the temperature of the water heater, a few degrees higher.

Check The Anode Rod
An anode rod is made up of magnesium or aluminum. Its purpose is to corrode inside the water tank forming a layer and thereby preventing the rusting of the exposed steel, within the tank. It is necessary to keep a check of the anode rod to prevent internal rusting of the heater. 

Insulate Your Heater
Insulation is always the best option when it comes to controlling temperature. Getting your pipes, as well as the heater structure, insulated is the best way to contain heat. Insulation, not only contains heat, it prevents the pipes from freezing up, thereby avoiding the problem of pipe bursts.

Examine The Pressure Relief Valve
The purpose of a pressure relief valve is to stop the pressure build-up which could lead to an explosion. The pressure relief valve drain pipe releases hot water in small amounts when there's a change in the temperature. You need to open the valve to release the pressure. If no water is released, then the valve needs to be repaired or replaced. Also, the dislodged debris in the valve needs to be cleared for a smooth functioning of the heater.

Check For Leaks
The other basic thing you need to do is to check for any leaks. If water is leaking out from pipes connecting to the heater, this could compromise the heating capacity of the heater. Certain leaks can be taken care of at home, others require professional help.

Invest In A New Heater
Water heaters are a long-term investment. However, like any other machinery, it cannot last forever. Over a period of time, the heater can get spoiled and cannot function the way it used to. Therefore, if your heater is in use for several years, then get it checked and invest in a new one if required. It’s better to buy a new one and be prepared for the winter rather than waiting for your old water heater to break down.

Regularize Maintenance Checks
One precautionary measure which will surely help you in tackling all the problems is conducting regular water heater maintenance checks. Timely checks help catch the above-mentioned problems and prevent them in the future.
​

You do not want to wait for your heater to stop working before you take any action this winter. It is better to be prepared with a working heater to fight the cold weather. Therefore, contact an Edmonton hot water tank repair professional to make your water heater winter ready.

Safety Tips For Your Water Heater

 professional water heater
Are you a qualified water heater expert? Or do you have immense knowledge and experience in dealing with your water heater? If your answer is a 'No' to both these questions, then you must not take up the water heater installation and repair jobs in your own hands. However, you can always take necessary measures to increase the lifespan of your water heater. To best deal with your water heater, install it, repair it, fix its issues, and avoid any catastrophic situations, you must hire professional water heater experts. 

Most water heater installers explain the dos and don’ts of using a water heater. We have come up with a few water heater safety tips for you. 

Ventilation
To maintain good ventilation make sure that:
  • The vent is of the  same diameter as the tank's draft diverter
  • The vent goes straight up and out, without any dips
  • From where it passes, through walls or roofs, it is double-walled. Single-walled vent sections should be screwed with 3 screws per section, especially in earthquake zones
If you have a poor draft, then the carbon monoxide and fumes released from the tank can come back into the room instead of going out. 

Temperature Control
It is important to keep the temperature close to 130 degrees. Even though you can be scalded at 130 degrees if you spend long enough under the water, you’ll probably draw back before that happens.
A residential water heater usually has 3 different settings – warm, hot, very hot.  And the most suitable temperature setting is 130 degrees at the tap. Temperatures above 130 degrees increase your scalding risk, encourage sediment buildup and waste energy.

Be Disaster Ready
Irrespective of whether you are in a disaster-prone region or not, you should ideally get your water heater strapped. Strapping your water heater to the wall will prevent it from falling over and damaging the gas line. 

Get It Checked By A Professional Annually
The key to ensuring the smooth functioning and safety of your water heater is by getting a professional water heater installer to check your device at least once a year. If you use a gas and oil-fired water heater, then burners have to be cleaned once a year. Get your service professional to thoroughly inspect your water heater for any minor problems.

You can reach out to our professionals at Hot Water Tanks Edmonton, for all kinds of water heater maintenance, repair, and installation services.
