FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING THE BEST WATER HEATER FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD

  • Written by News Company


I do not see the reason why anyone would retire out of their warm cozy bed and take a cold shower. What’s more, even people who live in tropical climates experience rainy and chilly seasons. It is during such times that most people reach out for a warm shower. Moreover, warm water is needed to do day-to-day household cleaning and laundry.

These are some of the basic reasons why installing a water heater is important. As the name suggests, a water heater is a heating appliance that instantaneously delivers hot water into your household. The water heater has an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. The outlet pipe is what is responsible for supplying hot water to faucets and other household appliances.

Whether you are replacing old water, purchasing or remodeling your home, there are various factors to consider when selecting the best JR Gas and Water's hot water heaters for your household.

Let’s delve into specifics.

  • Hot water needs

Before purchasing a water heater, you have to know how much hot water your household uses. This depends on the number of occupants you are harboring.

Additionally, you may have to consider the number of plumbing fixtures installed in your home.

  • The type of water heater

There are various types of water heaters in the market and in this case, it comes down to preference. You not only need to select a preferred water heater but also a storage water heater.

Before deciding on which model to go with, first read the heater’s specifications and manufacturer’s instructions. You could also talk to the seller to explain the pros and cons of each heater model to make an informed purchasing decision.

  • Energy efficiency

Another thing you should consider is how energy efficient the heater is. Purchasing a modern water heater does not necessarily mean that it is energy efficient.

To significantly bring down electricity costs in your household, go for a water heater that uses solar energy. Solar water heaters will save you a lot of money as well as reduce carbon footprints.

  • Type of fuel used

Currently, most water heaters are powered by either gas of electricity. However, other types use solar energy to heat water.

If you are replacing an old electric water heater that is costing you in terms of energy bills, go for a gas or solar water heater that is more energy-efficient.

  • Size

The size of the water heater you go with is very important as it goes hand-in-hand with your household’s hot water needs.

Before purchasing or installing a water heater, get a contractor to take measurements and determine whether the heater is likely to fit in your home.

Without this careful consideration, you may choose the wrong heater size that may result in higher energy bills, poor efficiency and a lack of hot water needs to cater to your household.

Finding the right water heater for your household has its benefits. A good water heater is energy-efficient and durable. As such, before buying a heater, you have to consider the above important factors.
