Water heater insulation kits are available in all sizes and are easy to install. This insulation is especially helpful for older water heaters. Check the thermostat setting of your water heater. We recommend 120 - 125 degrees. Setting the water heater temperature to 120 degrees will reduce the risk of scalds.
Some states require settings at specific lower temperatures.
More than 5 minutes Insulate hot water pipes from the water heater to source of use. You can lengthen the life of your water heater and maintain storage capacity by draining sediment from the bottom of the tank at least once or twice a year. Kitchen Appliances Refrigerators and Freezers Don't overload your refrigerator or freezer. They operate best when nearly full and when air can circulate freely among the stored items. Limit the number of times you open and close your refrigerator.
