Water testing can help identify potential issues with your household water supply by detecting contaminants, such as bacteria, lead, pesticides, or other harmful substances that may not be visible or noticeable. Testing can also determine the pH levels, hardness, and other factors that can affect the quality of your water and potentially cause health problems or damage to your plumbing system. Regular water testing is essential to ensure the safety and quality of your drinking water.

You can improve the energy efficiency of your residential water heater by insulating the hot water pipes, setting the temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, installing a timer or smart thermostat to control when the heater operates, and regularly maintaining the unit to ensure it is functioning optimally.
