  1. Some Water Heater Maintenance Hacks That You Should Know Generally, people do not pay much heed to their water heaters until they start showing signs of damage. Why should you wait for that? Keep your water heater in good condition from the beginning. Otherwise, you never know they may get damaged to an extent beyond  repair. So, get acquainted  with  the following water heater maintenance hacks and keep the hot water   running   forever.   However,   it   is   best   to   opt   for professional help for the maintenance services as they involve certain risks that you may not be well aware of. Now, let us get down to those tips: Clear The Area: Keep everything at a distance of 2 feet from the appliance while   installing.   The   gas   water   heaters   require   adequate oxygen to function properly. If they are clumped up against the wall   surrounded   by   other   appliances,   it   may   affect   the efficiency of the heater. Also, the absence of space and oxygen may   also   damage   the   burner   chamber   and   other   parts. Furthermore, if the water heating unit starts to leak for any reason whatsoever, you will not be able to make it out until it’s too late. So, make sure the surrounding area is clean to enhance efficiency.

  2. Drain the tank every 6 months: Clean the tank at every 6 months to get rid of all debris and sediment. Turn the water supply off, the cold one that is. Connect a garden hose pipe to the water valve and drain the tank until the water runs clear. If the water remains muddy, you can dismount the pipe for a while and let the debris stir up. Then repeat the process. You will notice clear water running soon.

  3. Maintain the thermostat level at 50 degrees Celsius: If you do that, you are going to save about 5% of energy for every 10 degrees Celsius of temperature you reduce on the thermostat. If you are in some energy­saving mode, this is the right time. Apart from these, there are some other maintenance hacks for water heaters like: ● Adjusting the temperature­pressure valve annually ● Giving your appliance proper insulation when it grows old ● Conducting an annual inspection of your water heater by certified plumbers and more. A water heater is an expensive thing to replace. So, make it a point to increase its durability by following the aforementioned maintenance tricks. Call the certified  hot water plumbers in Mandurah whenever you feel that something is not right. They will   know   what  is  best  for   your  appliance  and  repair   it accordingly. After all, if the small issues are not taken care of in time, the big problems will become hard to repair. You may need to replace the entire unit for that matter. So, better be careful from the beginning and inspect your water heater regularly.
