DIY spot checks are essential
Hot water systems are intricate machines that can combine electrical and gas energy supply systems. So they should be treated with respect and are best left to professionals to service.
But to keep your hot water system in good nick, there are a few ways you can take care of it yourself year round.
First of all, keep the area surrounding the unit clean and tidy, especially after a storm where debris may become lodged in its vents or panels. In winter, it’s important to ensure the hot water system’s area is kept tidy.
Another way you can keep your hot water system in good condition is to ensure that your home’s water supply is in top shape. Be on the lookout for leaks or drops in water pressure and make sure to investigate them.
