Is it time to replace my home’s hot water tank?

Homeowners all over Northeast Ohio rely on their hot water heaters every single day.  If your current hot water heater is eight to 10 years old or has begun to perform less efficiently, it is probably time to upgrade your unit.

It can be hard to know where to start when purchasing a new hot water heater in Greater Cleveland.  There are countless options to choose from.  Here are 4 factors to consider when selecting your replacement hot water heater:

• The hot water heater’s fuel type or energy source.  Traditional hot water tanks run on natural gas, propane, or electricity.
• What type, make, or model of hot water heater you want.  There is a diverse selection of hot water heaters on the market today.  Tanks with digital displays, anti-scale devices that reduce buildup of minerals in tanks, and glass-lined tanks that reduce corrosion.
• What size tank your household needs.  Hot water tanks can store anywhere from 30 to 100 gallons of water.  When deciding what size hot water tank to purchase, you must consider how much hot water your family may use.
• The hot water heater’s energy efficiency.  The amount of gas or electricity consumed by a hot water heater can add up quickly.  Because of this, it is worthwhile to consider more expensive but much more energy efficient models.  You will easily recoup your costs over time in energy savings.  All current model hot water tanks meet the new Federal efficiency ratings.
