Water Heater Care « Baird & Warner

October 21st, 2014

Water heaters are instrumental in everyday life, but are easy to overlook until they break. A little preventative care will decrease the likelihood of major unexpected and inconvenient problems.

Use aluminum instead of magnesium. The sacrificial anode is a rod usually made out of magnesium or aluminum. If the hot water heater has a magnesium rod, switch to an aluminum one to avoid odor problems, as magnesium tends to break down and cause a rotten egg smell.

Get rid of scale and lime. Significantly decrease the rate of lime and scale formation in the tank by lowering the temperature of the hot water heater. You may also install a water softener to reduce buildup.

Provide routine care. Drain and clean the tank once a year for optimum performance. Hire a professional regularly to check the overall condition and health of the water heater and address any concerns before they result in major issues.

August 26th, 2014

Whether you’re changing a light bulb or fixing up the wiring in your circuit board, you should always be safe about electrical work. We’ve compiled some safety tips recommended by the National Fire Protection Association so you can stay safe in your home.

Tamper Resistant Receptacles
If you have a house full of kids, there’s a chance at one point they’ve touched something they weren’t supposed to. To keep your children’s curiosity a safe distance from harm, make sure all your electrical outlets have tamper resistant receptacles. If kids stick something into an outlet, like a paperclip, the springs in the outlet won’t go off and shock them.

Rent or Own: The Costs of Buying a Home | The Torch: Liberty Mutual

After several years of a slow housing market, buying is picking up. Housing prices have dropped significantly during the recent slowdown, and mortgage rates remain at historic lows, meaning that purchasing a house is more affordable than it has been in years.

However, if you're wondering, "Should I buy or rent?", it's important to realize that your housing costs will go beyond your monthly mortgage payment. As a renter, you don't need to worry about anything beyond your monthly rent, but owning a home comes with a wide range of financial obligations. As a homeowner, you'll be responsible for several costs.
