Hey there this is Dustin from Golden Rule! Your water heater works hard all year, but it’s especially important during the winter. Let’s go over a few simple steps to make sure it’s ready to keep up when temperatures drop. First, it’s a good idea to flush your water heater once a year. If you skip this step, sediment buildup can reduce efficiency and even cause your water heater to fail right when you need it most—in the middle of winter. Next, check the temperature. Most water heaters are set to 140°F, by lowering your water heater to 120°F you can save you up to 10% on your water heating costs. Plus, lowering the temperature to 120°F not only saves energy, but it also makes your home safer, especially if you have kids or elderly family members who are more prone to burns. Lastly, If your water heater is in a cold space like a basement or garage, consider adding a water heater blanket. This will help insulate the tank and prevent heat loss, making it work less hard to heat the water. A little maintenance now means no cold showers later.

Hey, homeowners, this is Dustin from Golden Rule! Winter is coming, and frozen pipes can turn into a nightmare if you're not prepared. Let’s talk about five easy steps to winterize your plumbing and avoid costly repairs. First, drain and disconnect your garden hoses. You might think leaving them attached isn’t a big deal, but trapped water can freeze, expand, and burst your pipes. A burst pipe isn’t just a mess, it can cost you thousands in repairs, not to mention the headache of water damage. Next, let’s talk about outdoor faucets. Grab some faucet covers—super cheap and easy to install—to keep the cold out. If your house is older, you may need to shut off and drain the pipes leading to those faucets, too. Third tip: check your home for any exposed pipes. If you find any in places like your basement, garage, or crawl spaces, wrap them up with insulation. Pipe insulation sleeves are your best friend here. Another tip, keep an eye on your indoor temperature. If you're leaving for the holidays, don’t set your thermostat lower than 55 degrees. It might seem like a way to save money, but frozen pipes cost way more. Finally, run your faucets a little during super cold nights—just a small trickle of water. It helps relieve pressure in the pipes and can stop them from freezing. A little drip of water might seem wasteful, but it’s a lot cheaper than fixing a frozen pipe. These five tips might only take you an hour, but they could save you from a winter plumbing disaster.
