News India Live, Digital Desk: Water Heater Safety Tips: As the mild cold starts knocking, our warm clothes and quilt start coming out. With this, another partner prepares to wake up silently in the bathroom for months – our geyser. Most of us on the first winter spray of the winter switch on the geyser directly, without thinking that this small negligence can become a big problem.
Just like you get it serviced before running AC in summer, in the same way it is equally important to get it serviced before starting the use of geyser in winter. This is not just because it gives warm water properly, but it is a very important step for both your safety and electricity bill.
Why is the servicing of geyser so important?
1. Life may be less in danger:
This may seem scary to hear, but true. One without service can be like a geyer -time bomb.
- Fear of bursting: Long -term use and scaling on the geyser tank and heating elements due to long use and minerals present in water. This takes longer to heat the water, it overheat the geyser and increases the pressure inside, which increases the risk of its bursting.
- Risk of current: Due to poor wiring or rust in the interiors, there is a fear of current in the water. During servicing, the technician examines wiring, plug and safety valves thoroughly, which can prevent any kind of accident.
2. Electricity bill will be half:
If you feel that servicing is a fee, then take a look at your electricity bill.
- Increased electricity consumption: When the layer of dirt accumulates on the heating element, he has to apply more vigor to heat the water, the geyser lasts longer and the electric meter runs like a racing car.
- Fast water is hot: A clean and serviced geyser heat the water faster. This not only saves your time, but also reduces electricity consumption.
3. Water comes clean and hot:
Many times you must have noticed that the color of the water coming from the geyser is slightly muddy or a strange smell from it. The reason for this is the rust and dirt stored inside the tank. During servicing, the tank is completely cleaned, which gives you clean and hot water.
What happens in servicing?
When a professional services your geyser, he examines and cleans these things:
- Tank cleaning: By opening the tank, the dirt and salt water layer is removed inside.
- Heating element check: The element is cleaned and it is seen whether it is working properly or not.
- Thermostat checking: It is ensured whether the geyser is automatically closing after the water is heated at a certain temperature. This is very important for safety.
- Wiring and Safety Valve: All types of wires, connections and pressure valves are examined so that there is no risk of any leakage or short circuit.
So do not play with the safety of yourself and your family in a hurry to enjoy this winter, hot water. Take a small step and check your geyser from the professional, so that you can enjoy the hot water without any tension.
