    4 WATER HEATER SAFETY TIPS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT

    Your home water heater is a household appliance that most homeowners tend to overlook. The fact that it
    remains unseen and unmoved, makes it invisible to our eyes. But, as harmless your water heaters might
    seem, precautionary tales and proper installation processes must still be followed.

    If you’re looking into having a water heater installed in your home, or you currently own one, here are
    some safety tips you need to know about.

    1. Choosing and Installing the Right Water Heater

    When choosing a water heater, make sure it’s the right size for your home- not too big that it con-
    sumes more that it should, or too small that it can barely do anything. Have a professional electrician in-
    stall your heater for you. DIY-ing your heater installation may not be the best idea, for safety purposes.
    Sometimes, it’s better to let other people to the work for you.

    2. Set Up Your Heater Properly

    Your heater’s most important parts is the temperature-pressure relief or the T&P Valve. In the
    event of high temperature or pressure build up, the T&P valve helps relieve pressure so as not to cause an
    explosion. The standard water thermostat should be 120 degrees. This is the temperature that is safe for
    children-use and should be able to help you with energy savings. However, temperature lower than 120
    degrees may cause bacteria to live inside your water heater.

    3. Electric vs. Gas-Fired Heaters

    Both types of heaters work generally the same. However for gas-fired water heaters, they must be specifi-
    cally raised 18” above the floor to help prevent the ignition of any gasoline fumes that will accumulate on
    the floor. There is also more chances of carbon monoxide build-up if you have a gas-fired heaters which
    makes it a bit more dangerous to use.

    4. Do Regular Check Ups

    Read your water heater’s manual to get to know the product more. Find out if it’s a model that
    needs regular servicing. Make sure you hire professional cleaners to do this for you. It’s always better to
    be safe than sorry!

    Due to the ever changing weather, homeowners now find that water heaters are a must in every home. So
    if you’re getting on anyway, make sure you get a water heater that is of top-quality and one that will not
    put you and your family in harm’s way.
