Should you insulate your water heater to improve efficiency?

If your water heater was manufactured in 2004 or later, it likely already has enough built-in insulation to prevent significant heat loss. In fact, if the outside of the tank doesn't feel warm to the touch, adding insulation probably won't make much difference.

For many homeowners, especially those with older oil-fired water heaters, the bigger question isn't insulation. It's age. Most storage-tank water heaters last between 7 and 13 years. As they get older, efficiency declines, repair costs increase, and adding insulation won't solve those underlying issues.

If your water heater is approaching or past its expected lifespan, it may be time to consider an upgrade. Contact us to learn about today's high-efficiency water heater options and find the right solution for your home. https://tinyurl.com/2fjv8vpk

As your heating and cooling system ages, it may require more frequent repairs and use more energy to keep your home comfortable. When repair costs start adding up, it can be difficult to know whether it's worth fixing or if it's time to consider an upgrade.

Learn the key factors homeowners should weigh when deciding between repairing an older system and investing in new equipment.
