One Great Water Heating Tip?

One thing no one likes about winter is being forced to pay massive heating bills. One of the biggest parts of any heating bill is what it costs to heat water. Here is one tip you can use to help alleviate that problem. Once every three months, go to your water heater and drain about a quart of water from it. This will remove some of the sediment that has built up in the heater. This sediment can stop heat from transferring as well as it should.
