What Should I Consider When Getting a Water Heater?

  • Size - your needs for hot water should dictate how big a unit you should get. 40-50 gallon water heater is typically enough.
  • Recovery rate - that's the rate that determines how much hot water you'll be able to get from your water heater in an hour of heating.
  • Unit size - some water heaters are pretty compact, but if you need a large capacity one - you need to be mindful of where it'll be located and you want to make sure you have enough to be able to install the water heater, connect it appropriately and enable easy access for maintenance.
  • Energy rating - different types of water heaters have different efficiency and performance ratings. Since you'll be running your water heater a lot - the more efficient it is - the less it'll cost you and by getting a more efficient water heater - you may be able to get additional savings in discounts from your energy provider and/or government.
