Descaling of electric water heaters
Descaling of electric water heaters
With every millimeter of lime on the thermostat and the heating element, the electricity consumption increases! For every additional hour per day, your heater generates an extra cost of approx. €87.60 per year. (1.2 Kw per hour x 365 days = 438 Kw per year x 0.2Euro) These additional costs increase year after year if descaling is not done.
If the anode is not replaced as well, it causes the heater to lose all anti-corrosive protection after 2-4 years, which leads to it rusting completely after another 2-4 years.
We replace the anode only when necessary (every 2-4 years).
