Tip of the Day: Water Heater Settings If you plan to go away for Labor Day weekend or other end of summer vacationing, set the water heater to its vacation setting. Otherwise each time the water in the tank cools, the unit will reheat it unnecessarily, wasting energy and money. The vacation setting is usually a dial or knob located on the base of the water tank and it has two or three different settings or modes. Another alternative is to replace conventional water heaters with “heat on demand” units. These only operate when hot waters taps are turned on, so they save money and energy all year ‘round. Doing maintenance on a seasonal basis not only helps keep homes in good shape and yards looking nice, but it makes it much easier to get the chores done because they tend to take less time when done regularly. Don’t procrastinate, because doing these simple things will let you reap the satisfying rewards of home upkeep and pride of ownership.
