Tips For Saving With Your Proper Water Heater

Things are cooling down this time of the year and that means propane water heaters are taking the stage to supply consistent hot water in your home. With increased heating comes increased energy use, and with increased energy use comes increased costs. We all know this already, but how can we heat water with propane efficiently to save as much money as possible?

Do you know about equal payment plans?

Often times, gas suppliers may offer equal payment plans to customers, which average a home’s heating bills for the year, and then sets a standard amount to be paid each month. This is vital for those cold winter months, when energy bills tend to be a bit higher.  Ask your gas supplier!

Maintain your water heater

It goes without saying, take care of your belongings and they will last longer and work better! The same goes for your propane water heater. Have your gas appliances serviced annually by a professional contractor and perform a home energy audit. This will help you manage energy use and efficiency. Always follow local codes and manufacturer regulations when operating your water heater.

Invest in a carbon monoxide detector

For safety and security, consider installing a carbon monoxide detector. This is especially recommended for gas-burning appliances. It won’t help much with managing energy efficiency in the home, BUT it is a tip to always consider for safety reasons and the well being of your family.
