During the winter, people like to rejuvenate with a warm water bath to start a fresh day. It will wash out all the shivering and stiffness and make you ready for the challenges of the upcoming day. Even when you come back home after a tiresome day, a hot water bath is a thing you want. And this luxury in most of the Indian household is possible only due to Water Geyser. It allows us the luxury to have warm hot water whenever we want. Not only for bathing, but it also makes the washing and cleaning of utensils very easy in the chilly winter days.
The only drawback is the increased electricity bill as you need more power to run the Geyser. It takes almost 18% of the electric bill that every household generally have. Only the Air Conditioner and Room Heater consume more electricity than it.
It is not possible to avoid this important appliance but the electricity bill seems unbearable sometimes. To get a solution, here are some excellent tips that will help you to have more hot water from Water Geyser with minimal electricity usage. Check out them right now.
-> Fix any leak:
It is quite common that the Water Geyser has developed leakage after some time. To get the maximum use of it, you have to keep a close eye on it and check for any source of water leakage. If you find something, you have to fix the leak immediately so that no hot water will be wastage. If your tank loses more water, you need more energy to heat up the new water.
-> Clean Up The tank:
It is very important to drain and flush the tank of the Geyser. With time, minerals like calcium and magnesium build up in the bottom section of the tank. This sediment forces the heating system to work harder and eventually causing overheating and rupture. During the starting of the winter season, it is better to drain and flush the tank once in a year.
-> Install Insulation:
Most of the time, the water loses its heat while it stays in the pipe and for that, you need more energy to heat it up. To compensate for it you need more hot water and for that, it will consume more energy. To stop this problem, you have to use insulation that will prevent heat loss. The insulation for the pipe and the tank as well helps the heat to stay there for a longer time.
-> Lower the temperature:
In a time of bath, you may not need the water as hot as the Water Geyser produces. You have the freedom to customize the temperature according to your use. However, many people don’t realize that they can actually lower the temperature of their water heater. For that, you have to check the thermostat and take the temperature to the most suitable level. When you set a lower temperature than the default, you will need less energy to reach the level.
