How to Hide a Hot Water Heater With Walls

Learning how to hide a hot water heater is one of the best ways to prevent theft. Unfortunately most people who have access to a hot water heater and an outside wall that are close enough will not think twice before trying to steal the appliance. If you use any type of electric tool to open or repair the valve on your hot water heater, you can take advantage of this. The valve is usually right there for anyone to see and grab, so if someone sees the valve they are more than likely going to try to get it for themselves. If you have to close the flue, make sure you turn off the water and wait until it clears up or turn the power off completely.
