Every time you take a shower or cook for your family, you need hot water. Many brands now make standard heaters with a tank and tankless units, giving you lots of options. Along with those heaters, you have the option of snagging a smart water heater. Find out why you may want to add one of these to your home this year.
Save Money
A smart water heater works in the same way that other smart appliances do. With a standard tank unit, the heater holds hot water in case you need it. If you don’t use that water, you waste energy heating it and keeping it hot. A smart appliance notes when you use hot water and how much you need. It uses that data to keep the right amount of hot water on hand and ready to go, lowering your energy costs.
Avoid Leaks
Homeowners in and around Brighton, CO love that smart water heaters help them avoid leaks. Most of them have a built-in leak detection feature. It monitors water usage and looks for signs of leaks. When it finds one, it sends an alert to let you know you need to take the next step. You can even sync the water heater to your phone through an app and have alerts sent to your phone. Many smart heaters can also send out email alerts.
Get More Control
If you’re new to the world of smart water heaters, you may not know how much control they give you. In the same way you use a smart coffee pot to brew coffee for you in the morning, you can set up the heater to have hot water waiting for you when you wake up. Whether you like to take showers early in the morning or late at night, you can program the water heater to work for you. You can even adjust the program when you’re away from home to avoid wasting water and power.
Enjoy Its Ability to Learn
Another benefit is that the heater learns from you and your behaviors. It can predict when you need hot water based on past usage. It eventually learns when to keep water ready to go and when it can shut down for a few hours. This is especially helpful if you have a large household because it keeps you from wasting power on heating water.
With all the benefits of a smart water heater, why not take the plunge in the new year? You can have one installed and avoid the problems with an old water heater. Call Royal Services Plumbing in Brighton, CO to schedule smart water heater installation.
