How can I avoid cold showers?

If you or your guests are experiencing cold showers, it is most likely because you have a traditional water heater and you are using the heated water more quickly than the water heater can keep up. This is especially common when more hot water is being used than normal (i.e. you have guests over).

One solution is to purchase a water heater with a larger tank. However, this will also increase the energy used to heat the water. A better solution is to either replace the traditional water heater with a whole-home tankless water heater or install an on-demand water heater at the point-of-use.

Did you know?

Dirty air filters are the main reason air conditioners don't work as well as they should. Every time the air conditioner runs, it pulls air through its filter. The purpose of the filter is to catch impurities in the air. With those particles stuck to the filter the path for air gets blocked to a greater and greater degree, meaning there's less air through the air conditioner and thus less cooling. It also means the air conditioner works harder and uses more power.
