Tips for Making Your Hoover Water Heater More Energy Efficient
A hot water heater is one of the largest pieces of equipment in your home. Your plumbing system relies on it to be able to provide your home with Hoover water heater. However, a large bulky piece of equipment like this can use a lot of energy and water.
If you have noticed your energy bills and your water bills climbing higher every month, you are wasting money. There are ways that you can provide your family with hot water without spending a fortune every month. There are several different tips for making your Hoover water heater more energy efficient.
Adjust Your Water Heater’s Thermostat
When it comes to saving money every month on your energy bill, you can do so by reducing your home’s dependency on hot, hot water. A water heater uses a large amount of power to heat water to the set temperature on your water heater. To help with this, you can lower the set temperature. For every 10 degrees that you turn your water heater down, you will save at least 3% on your next energy bill.
Most Hoover water heaters are preset at 140 degrees. We recommend resetting your hot water thermostat to 120 degrees. This is the perfect temperature to provide you with hot water while reducing mineral build up in your tank. You are also turning down 20 degrees, which will save you 6% on your next month’s energy bill.
Use Less Hot Water
If you do not want to lower your temperature any more, or you have already lowered it enough, you can save money on energy bills by using less hot water. A Hoover water heater works by producing enough hot water and storing it in a tank. If you empty this tank, your water heater will use more energy to produce more hot water for your home.
The trick to stopping this is to use less hot water. For example, you can take shorter showers. Or you can use cold water to brush your teeth instead of hot. You can alternate running your dish washer and your washing machine. These are both large appliances that use a lot of hot water.
Install Your Water Heater Correctly
There are several reasons to properly insulate your water heater, but the biggest reason is to reduce the amount of energy your hot water heater produces. For proper instructions on how to correctly wrap your water heater, you should consult a professional Hoover plumber.
It is also a good idea to insulate any visible and accessible pipes around your hot water heater. This process will also reduce the amount of Co2s that escape from you heater and into the environment.
