Dont wait several minutes for hot water when you turn on the tap.

Here are the best tips for getting faster hot water:
1.
Insulate Pipes
Head to your crawlspace, basement, garage, or wherever your water heater is.
Locate the hot water line.
Tape the insulation to seal in as much heat as possible.
Adjust or Remove Your Volume Restrictor
If you have a volume restrictor installed, locate it.
Instead, they immediately heat water that passes through them.
Plus, they’remore efficient than traditional water heaters, although they cost more up front.
If you aren’t confident servicing the unit, contact a maintenance technician for assistance.
If servicing a gas-powered water heater, turn the gas valve to the “off” position.
This system keeps water circulating in your pipes so you always have hot water immediately at your disposal.
