Electric heater long-term open without power will have some impact on the water heater, mainly in the following two aspects:
Increase in energy consumption: electric heater long-term open without power will continue to consume electricity, resulting in increased energy consumption. Especially in the peak tariff hours, energy costs will increase significantly.
Shortening of water heater life: long-term uninterrupted use of the water heater will lead to shortening the life of the water heater. This is because prolonged use will cause wear and tear on the mechanical and electrical components of the water heater, and prolonged operation will lead to high temperatures inside the water heater, which can easily lead to water heater failure.
Therefore, in order to save energy and prolong the service life of the water heater, it is recommended to turn off the switch of the electric heater when hot water is not needed, and avoid uninterrupted use for a long time. At the same time, in the purchase of water heaters should pay attention to the energy efficiency rating and quality of the water heater, choose low energy consumption, good quality products, which can effectively save energy and extend the service life of the water heater.
