Insulation can cut heat loss by up to 45 percent and water heating costs by up to 9 percent. Cleaning the tank of sediment makes it work better and last longer. And making sure that the tank has a working anode rod will help keep the inside from rusting. A new heater is much more expensive to buy than a used rod.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Just follow these maintenance tips for your hot water heater to save money on your hot water.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Ch3>Check the TPR Valve\u003C/h3>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\t\u003Cli>Turn off the power and close the valve that brings in cold water.\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>Put a bucket under the pipe connected to the temperature-pressure-release (TPR) valve on the top or side of the tank. (If the pressure in the tank gets too high, this valve will open.)\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>Lift the tab on the valve to let some water out, then put it back down.

If it’s less than half an inch thick or covered with calcium, buy a new one, wrap its threads with Teflon tape, put it back in the tank, and tighten it securely.
