Looking to replace a water heater

For anyone looking for a good reason to replace that aging hot water heater they can find it in today’s news. Looking at natural gas costs for the coming winter projects gas per therm rates of $1.62, a 33 percent rise over this time last season and 110 percent higher than a decade ago.

Department of Energy also shows that heating with a gas powered tankless water heater is 33 percent more cost effective than with a tank water heater. If you were comparing an older tank water heater, the difference would probably be even greater.

Take advantage of the US government’s EnergyStar ratings when shopping for new appliances. It’s also a good idea scan consumer reports for efficiency and price. You can do a search at doe.gov for more info.

There are other resources that can give you industry standards for quality and performance, which can help you in making a decision. Knowing thing like warranty and whether there are any authorized repair services close by can also be helpful.
