Plumbing is one of the most crucial aspects to a home while also being notorious for the cause of many problems and headaches. Fortunately, there are several ways to help eliminate potential plumbing problems before they ever develop into an issue. Many people make the mistake of letting problems go unattended to for too long and then the problem can become a big expense financially and on your time. Occasionally monitoring things like the pipes under the kitchen sink, indoor/outdoor faucets, and other areas of plumbing in your home can greatly help you see an early warning sign for a problem before the problem develops. Water leaking or pipes that are making more noise than normal can be a sign that something is wrong or needs to be looked at. Just by understanding that your plumbing needs occasional attention and staying on top of the game could save you from a major issue down the road.
The water heater is responsible for providing you with warm/hot water anywhere in your home. Whether it be in the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room the water heater is hard at work. Understanding how to use your water heater to its highest and most efficient ability can save you money on energy as well as the life of the water heater itself. A common mistake made is keeping the water heater’s thermostat too high which can take a toll on the unit after a while. Instead, try setting the water heater at 120 degrees, which will thoroughly provide you with hot water when needed but also keeping the unit from overheating. Not only does this help eliminate potential problems on the water heater but it will also help you minimize energy costs since a water heater can account for roughly 20 percent of your total utility expenses. Another excellent tip is to insulate the cold and hot water pipes to help prevent temperature loss and to help work more efficiently all around.
