Wrap your water heater to save energy

An insulation blanket wraps around your water heater to prevent it from losing heat and helps maintain a consistent temperature. Especially if it’s in the garage or basement where the external temperature is significantly colder than the water heater.

Before you channel your inner Clark Griswold, let Team Ready help you cut costs on holiday lighting. It's easy to stay safe while still having the hap-hap-happiest Christmas.

Conserve energy by wrapping your water heater.
