Have you ever tried getting a cold shower in the winter because your hot water system isn’t working? It’s definitely a shocking experience. Hot water systems can run efficiently and without problems when they are properly maintained.
Here
are the things that you can do to keep your hot water system running all the
time:
1. Check the anode rod regularly.
If you see signs of corrosion or the anode rod has a
white calcium coating, it’s time to have it replaced. When the anode rod is
starting to deteriorate, your hot water tank will not work properly.
2. Put insulation on older hot water tanks.
An older hot water tank might not have good
insulation. In the winter, they can freeze easily, thereby causing problems
when you use the hot water system. Get a fiberglass jacket to insulate the
tank.
3. Adjust it to vacation mode when not using it for a
long time.
Are you going away on a long vacation? Rather than
turning off your heater and risk freezing the tank, set it to vacation mode
instead. That will help you conserve energy.
If you need a hot water tank replacement in Vancouver, hire professionals such as ProGas North Shore to do
the job. Assess your needs for hot water and determine what size of hot water
tank replacement in Vancouver to get. Always get the right size because if you
buy something too big, your system might be too much to manage. If it is too
small, it might struggle to keep up with the needs of your household.
