In an environment where money is tight, it can be tempting to cut back on home maintenance as a way to save money. Increasingly, people are leaving decorating for another year and cutting back on things like getting their trees cut back. In some cases, leaving tasks for another year or so is not a problem. However, other things really need to be done on a regular basis and top of this list is definitely maintaining your heater.
Without proper maintenance, your water heater is at an increased risk of breakdown. Making sure that basic items like jets and filters are replaced is very important. Often when one of a heater’s basic components breaks this leads to other more expensive parts being damaged and needing to be replaced.
A Tune-Up Improves Efficiency
Not only do homeowners who get their heater tuned up on a regular basis experience fewer breakdowns they save in other ways too. A properly maintained water heater runs more efficiently. It consumes less power and delivers hot water to the home reliably. There is no need to wait twenty minutes before taking a shower because the heater is not working properly.
