Easy hot water tips for your home

May 7, 2025

Your hot water system is one of those things you don’t think about until it stops working, but a little maintenance can keep it running smoothly. The best part? You don’t have to be a plumber to do some quick checks yourself!

 

Quick Hot Water System Check

Here are a few simple steps to make sure your hot water system is in good shape:

  • Look for leaks: Check for dripping water or puddles around the tank and pipes.
  • Test the pressure valve: Lift the handle to see if water flows, then make sure it closes tightly.
  • Set the right temperature: Ensure the thermostat is at 49°C to save energy and keep it safe.
  • Check for rust: Look for any signs of rust or corrosion around the tank.
  • Listen for strange noises: Popping or banging sounds? It might mean your system needs cleaning.

If everything seems fine, you’re good to go! But if you spot an issue or your system is showing its age, it might be time to call in the experts at Finchetts.
