As summer approaches, it’s essential to make sure that your water heater is ready to function efficiently in warmer weather. Although complications are most common during winter, there are also specific challenges that can arise during summertime.

Continue reading to stay aware of potential issues and how you can take the necessary precautions to avoid any disruptions to your daily routine.

Ventilation
Proper ventilation is essential for maintaining your water tank system. To prevent rust, corrosion, and hazardous situations like combustion, it is important to keep the area around the system clear of clutter and well-ventilated. Your water heating system should also be located in a well-insulated and secure area.

Note: Tankless systems provide safer ventilation options, take up less space, and require less maintenance.

Temperature
Water temperatures can become too hot during the summer for several reasons. To address this issue, start by evaluating the temperature on the thermostat. If the problem persists, there may be sediment buildup or a broken valve.

In the summer months, when water usage is at its peak, it's not uncommon for there to be a shortage of hot water. It's important to conserve water and use it wisely to ensure a consistent supply of hot water. By doing so, you can help to avoid any potential water shortages and ensure that you have access to hot water whenever you need it.
