What about the water heater at home when it rains and thunders?

When it rains and thunders, when there is a problem with the water heater at home, first check whether the external power supply and wiring of the water heater are normal. If it is normal, it is necessary to check whether there is rain in the water heater, which will lead to short circuit and other problems. If this happens, you should stop powering on and unplugging the water heater in time and turn off the outdoor main switch. When the weather recovers, the water heater is out of water before using electricity. At the same time, for families who use electric water heaters, it is recommended to suspend the use of this equipment in thunderstorm weather to avoid potential safety hazards to families. In addition, if the water heater is struck by lightning or other similar conditions, it is necessary to contact the professional in charge of maintenance for inspection and maintenance in time. On the premise of ensuring safety, some emergency measures can be taken, such as umbrella protection, grounding wire installation, lightning rod installation, etc. , in order to alleviate the impact of lightning stroke/lightning stroke to a certain extent.
