Are you noticing your hot water is not hot enough, or lasting long enough? If so you may have a problem with mineral build-up in the water heater. AC Plumbing Construction, and Most water heater manufacturers recommend that you Flush your water heater at least once a year to reduce the build up of minerals.

If this build-up has already occurred, flushing may not completely solve the problem; you may need to replace the water heaters elements.

TO CONSERVE ENERGY COSTS, consider insulating the water pipes from your water heater to faucets located at a distance from your heater. Also, consider installing a POINT OF USE WATER HEATER.

A point-of-use water heater is a small heating appliance installed directly under, or near, a fixture such as a bathroom sink (or sinks, in some bathrooms), which provides hot water directly to that fixture.

A point-of-use water heater eliminates the need for hot water pipes between your main water heater and the fixture.
The point-of-use water heater is connected to a cold water pipe right under the sink; this means you have hot water at the faucet almost immediately.

In addition to saving energy costs, you will conserve water because you don't have to let the water run while you wait for it to warm up.
