HOW ARE YOU ALL DOING?

Are you taking care of yourselves? Are you feeling scared? Are you worried about loved ones that are not near you? Do you feel alone?

SO MANY QUESTIONS!

There is a new “normal” being experienced in the world right now and truthfully, it feels anything BUT normal. COVID-19 has turned our lives upside down and everyday brings new information, new challenges and new uncertainties.

IT STINKS!

You’ve been getting emails and newsletters from local businesses and global industries reassuring you about how they are implementing safe and approved protocol in their day to day operations so that you don’t need to worry. But you do. Worry. A lot.

We at Hot Water 911 do too. We worry about our team members, our families, our children, our parents, our health and, we worry about YOU. No one needs additional concerns right now. And the last thing you need to think about is your water heater. Whether you are a business owner or a home owner, you just expect your water heater to work. Because it should. But, what if it doesn’t? Now you have to worry about that TOO?

NOT WITH HOT WATER 911!

COVID-19 and Your Water Heater

20 Second Proper Hand Washing Song

With the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) wreaking fear and uncertainty everywhere, the single most important thing that we can do to prevent spreading the virus is to wash our hands. Proper hand washing protocol advises at least 20 seconds of thorough washing with soap. To remind ourselves of how long 20 seconds is, we found this cute video that takes you through the proper technique AND it is 20 seconds long to make it easier for you!

What the song doesn’t say is how important the first step is in hand washing. The first step is to turn on the hot water at your sink. The temperature of the water for good hand washing is 120 degrees F. Get your hands thoroughly wet with the hot water and then, turn off the water. Twenty seconds is the recommended time to wash your hands and twenty seconds is a long time to be running the hot water unnecessarily. With wet hands and the water turned off, start soaping up your hands and begin singing.

The Hot Water 911 team is always aware as to how important hot water is in our everyday life…something we all tend to take for granted. During this health crisis, hot water will be in demand more than ever. Suddenly your water heater is one of the most important steps in the line of defense. This important line of defense starts in your home’s water heater and moves all the way up the chain to healthcare facilities, offices, food service locations, dialysis centers and more.

Take time today to check your water heater. Make sure that it seems to be functioning properly. Check for water on the floor. Move any combustible objects away from the water heater and furnace area. If you aren’t sure about your water heater’s health, give us a call at 800-464-6892.

Oh, and one last thing. There is still a lot of Influenza A out there. If you haven’t gotten your flu shot yet, there is still time to protect yourself from the viruses that it covers. You can find out where to get the flu shot near you here.

Hot Tips to Keep Your Water Heater Happy

Check for Leaking Faucets

Leaky faucets can waste many gallons of hot water a month and put a drain (pun intended) on your water heater. If you would like to repair the leaking faucet yourself, you first need to know what type of faucet you have. Once you know the type of faucet you have, you will find that this is where YouTube comes in handy. If you have a cartridge type faucet, you might want to watch this video from Ask This Old House. If you have a compression washer type of faucet, Ask This Old House comes to the rescue again. Finally, if you have a ball-type faucet, here’s another helpful video.

I ask you…what would we do without the amazing Richard Trethewey?!).

Change to Low Flow Shower Heads

Older shower heads can use a wasteful 6 to 10 gallons of hot water per minute!! Fortunately, shower heads today are better at saving your water heater by being able to provide a comfortable shower with only 2.2 gallons of water a minute, therefore, if you still have an older shower head, consider changing to a low flow shower head and save hot water AND unnecessary wear and tear on your water heater.

If you have any questions on how you can help extend the health and life of your water heater, give us a call at 800-464-6892 or email us at info@hotwater911.com. Water heaters are what we do at Hot Water 911 and we are always happy to help you.

One of our amazing certified technicians found this situation at a job he was assigned. It looked like a DIY nightmare but it could have become a DIY nightmare if our technician hadn’t found that the INSTRUCTIONS for the flexible vent was still IN the vent burning up! Luckily he caught it before a fire!

YIKES!

By installing the venting the correct way we prevented a possible carbon monoxide situation.

Thanks to Hot Water 911, they all lived happily ever after!
