1 – Keep the Space Around Your Water Heater Free and Clear
First and foremost, remember that water heaters can cause a fire. Make sure to keep the space around your water heater free of all potentially flammable objects. Make sure there is nothing within a five-foot radius around your heater. Additionally, keep all paints, solvents, and other flammable materials in a separate room from your water heater.2 – Lower Your Water Heater Temperature
While most people enjoy hot showers, lowering your water heater temperature during the winter is wise. For one, you’ll use far less energy with a water heater set at 120 degrees. The 20-degree difference is hardly noticeable (for most people), and you’ll use considerably less energy each month. So, take the advice of the water heater experts here at the Water Heaters Masters and lower your water heater’s temperature this winter.3 – Make Sure You Have a Reliable Carbon Monoxide Detector Near Your Water Heater
A carbon monoxide detector can save your life. That’s right, carbon monoxide is dangerous, and your water heater produces it. Ensure you have a carbon monoxide detector installed, with fresh batteries, in the same room as your water heater. It would be best to have a carbon monoxide detector in any place with any other appliance that uses heat or fire to perform its duties. Adding a CO detector to your water heater room may save your home and the lives of your family one day. Don’t neglect it.4 – Listen for a Knocking Sound Coming From Your Water Heater
It may seem strange, but you should always give your water heater a decent listen every time you turn it on. Suppose you hear knocking, banging, or something similar from your water heater.
