Your furnace or boiler is tasked with keeping your LI home warm throughout the long, cold winter, so it makes sense that these workhorses are under more pressure to do their job during this time of year than any other.
But your home heating equipment isn’t alone in working harder during the winter months: your water heater does, too.
It may be tempting to think that your water heater works the same way all year long, but that’s not true: your water heater actually labors considerably harder in the winter than it does in other seasons for three key reasons:
With the increased work load on your water heater, you may not be able to avoid at least some rise in your energy bills during the winter months (since anywhere from 15-20 percent of your energy bill comes from heating water), but you can at least make sure that your water heater is running as efficiently as possible.
How do you do that? By having your water heater professionally maintained – and by making sensible, high efficiency water heater upgrades for your older equipment. The good news is that the experts at Burt’s Reliable can help you with both.
