The stretch between Thanksgiving and New Year’s is one of the busiest times of the year for your home’s plumbing system—especially your water heater. From extra cooking and cleaning to back-to-back showers for visiting family, the demand on your water heater skyrockets during the holidays. If you’ve noticed slower hot-water recovery, inconsistent temperatures, or unusual noises afterward, your water heater is likely asking for help. This is especially true for units that are 10–15 years old or more. A bit of post-holiday maintenance can go a long way toward extending the life of your tank or tankless water heating system, and preventing mid-winter breakdowns.
