Back in 2009 my husband had an excellent idea. And it was SO helpful that I thought I would share about this just in case this could help some of you.
In September 2009 we experienced a flood from our hot water heater that went out. Our hot water heater is located in a closet in the hallway. We replaced the hot water heater and he decided to write the date that he installed it so that we would know when we got it.
Last week we decided that before we had another flooding situation to replace the hot water heater - since it was over 10 years old!
Not only did he replace it, he also replaced the copper lines going to it and another larger pipe. And of course he wrote the date in which it was done so that we will have this information in the future. Yes, we could set up a file folder with our receipt and all to get the information when needed, but this is just a quicker method to know when it was last replaced. We will set up that folder for the important information as well.
Anyway it felt good to be proactive with this hot water heater. It is no fun to wake up to a wet floor or come home to a flood. This way we will not have to deal with that any time soon. I hope this helpful life hack has been informative for you and will help you in your future purchases. :O)
