Can you set the temperature and just leave the room? Also what does BTU mean. The heater I am looking at is ranked at 4,500 BTU heat output. Thanks a lot for any help.

Wendy b asked:


I live alone and am really trying to make radical cuts to my budget. I have been turning my water heater off when not in use and only on when I take a shower and that isn’t every day, is this saving money or costing money to heat the water ?

Where are the heater hoses located on a 1993 chevy cavalier?

Da1uWanna asked:


The heater stopped working all the sudden and a couple of days after that, I noticed my car was leaking large quantities of coolant, but it wasn’t leaking from the radiator or the reserve tank. It was coming out near the firewall on passenger side. It looks as though a hose should be connected there, but I can’t tell.

Why does our hot water heater sometimes not have much hot water in the morning?

wishiwerewest asked:


This morning it was 8 degrees outside and the room with the water heater was warm and we had plenty of hot water. Last week it was 40 in the morning and the room with the water heater was warm and there wasn’t much hot water. What gives?

Also, this only happens in the winter time when the weather is colder but it is obviously not linked to temperature.
