Water Heaters Consider The First Hour Rating(FHR) - Although it is possible that you could figure in the size of the water tank into your decision, this is not as important as the FHR. The FHR measures how much hot water the heater can produce in one hour.
Determine Daily Water Consumption – This is important and should be based on your busiest day of the week. Things such as laundry, dishwashers, showers, etc. – calculate how much time you need hot water for each. Add these figures up, comparing your total to the FHR on the yellow energy label. If it is equal to or better than your number, then all is good.
Get a Water Heater With A Long Warranty. Water Heaters with a longer warranty perform best, and will cover you for up to 12 years – the least is 6. The water heaters with the longest warranties are the best performing. Also, the price difference between the two does not warrant opting for the lower warranty. It should be noted that testing found that hot water heaters with the longer warranties were better constructed. Having the longest warranty is also important, because most warranties only cover the unit itself, not the cost of replacing it. If you are using water softeners, then a longer warranty is highly recommended.
Get The Dimensions Beforehand. Measure the area you will be putting the hot water heater before you buy. Because federal regulations call for 5%-10% increased efficiency(electric and gas heaters), the insulation used has made the actual size – so, tight spots could be a problem.
FAQ
How do I know if I have a broken water line outside the house?
Common indications of a broken water line may include an excessively high water bill, puddles in your yard or the sound of running water when no faucets or relevant appliances are running.
How can you replace sewer pipes without digging up my landscaping?
Using Line Location and Trenchless Piping technology, it is possible to route a new sewer line with minimal digging.
Can I get someone to come to my house today?
We have technicians available specifically for emergency calls (1.206.789.8029) to diagnose and solve your plumbing problem right away.
What causes low water pressure and what can I do about it?
There are several things that could cause low water pressure, including a partially closed or malfunctioning shut off valve, a crimped water line, or deposits that gather in older galvanized pipes. If your neighbors have strong water pressure, the problem is most likely between the water meter and your home. A qualified technician will be able to identify the problem and explain your options.
Why is there a sewer smell in our house?
The most common cause of a sewer smell in the house is a dry p-trap, a curved pipe that is usually filled with water as a seal to hold out sewer gas. Unused showers or utility room overflow drains are often the culprits due to evaporation of water in the trap. If there are no such drains, it's time to call a plumber.
