It’s winter, so I hope you have your hot water heater up and running (otherwise, your morning shower has got to be a miserable experience)! But it’s hard to prepare for the unexpected, and if your hot water heater has gone caput, you’ll want to act fast to replace it. How do you know what hot water heater is right for your Raleigh home?
- Measure the space where the heater will be installed. If there’s not a lot of room available, you’ll probably want to go with a tankless water heater.
- Are you going green? Choose a more energy-efficient hot water heater like a tankless heater or a solar thermal heater.
- Consider your home energy source. Buy a hot water heater designed to work with your energy source, like gas or propane.
- Check the warranty (but I didn’t need to tell you that, did I?).
We’ll leave you with this video with tips on installing a water heater, and a reminder to call Progressive Plumbing and Piping for your home water heater installation!
