The holiday season has come and gone and we’re all left wondering… did you get that new water heater you had asked for?! If your answer is no (which we find shocking!), well we’re here to make your wish come true!
You rely on your heater to deliver hot water when you want it, no matter the time of year. Let’s say one day you get ready for a shower and the water doesn’t warm up as quickly as it normally does… is something wrong? Can cold weather affect how your heater works? That may be your first thought as you stand shivering in your bathroom on a chilly December morning, but let’s consider some other points.
How old is your heater? The average household water heater works well for about the first 6-7 years before it starts to show signs of wear.
How is your water quality? If you have a traditional tank model, you might discover sediment, which can hamper the heating process.
How often are you using the heater? You use water to stay warm, and may wash more clothes in the winter by virtue of wearing more layers during the day. The more your heater works, especially if it’s older, can take its toll.
