Preparing Your Water Heater for Milwaukee's Harsh Winter Season

As the winter season approaches in Milwaukee, it's essential to prepare your water heater for the cold temperatures. A well-maintained water heater can provide you with a constant supply of warm water, while a faulty one can leave you shivering. At Milwaukee Plumbers, we recommend water heater installation or tankless water heater service to ensure your water heater is working efficiently.

Why Winterize Your Water Heater?

Winterizing your water heater can help prevent damage from freezing temperatures. In Milwaukee, the average temperature in January is around 24°F, which can cause your water heater to work harder to provide warm water. This can lead to increased energy bills and reduced lifespan of your water heater. Our team of experts at Milwaukee Plumbers can help you in Oshkosh and surrounding areas, including Madison, to prepare your water heater for the cold season.

Tips to Prep Your Water Heater

Here are some tips to help you prep your water heater for Milwaukee's cold season:

• Check the temperature and pressure relief valve to ensure it's working correctly.
• Inspect the water heater for any signs of leaks or damage.
• Consider installing a water softener to reduce mineral buildup and improve water quality.
• Check the gas supply line if you have a gas range or gas-powered water heater.
