I am about to purchase my first home. My home inspector cautioned that the water heater was very old, and that maybe we should consider replacing it sooner rather than later. We are looking to invest in the future, and have enjoyed reading on your site about all the great types of water heaters out there. Now we just need to make that final decision.

Now I wish I had found your site before my water heater sprung a massive leak and ruined the floor underneath it. If I had been paying closer attention to it, maybe I would have noticed a smaller leak before it sprung the large one. Great advice for the homeowner.

What great words of wisdom. To be observant is one of the key features in life. For those that are not, it is never too late to start. Head right to that water heater of yours and take a good look. You don’t want an undetected leak to ruin your floor instead!

I love this! What a great piece of advice. It made me take a closer look at my heater to see if there were any leaks and thank goodness there was not. I will keep a closer eye on it and pay close attention to any of these great warning signs.

Great advice! I wish I had stopped here 6 months ago when I found some mysterious water near my water heater. I didn’t think anything of it as there wasn’t much, but now I’m looking at replacing it from lack of care.

Wow! I thought my dishwasher was dying and had actually started to look for a new one. I decided to do the dishes by hand and discovered that the water was not as hot as it used to be. The repair man informed me that I would need a new water heater soon, as it was failing. I have since replaced the water heater and my trusty dishwasher is working fine again.

I always took for granted I'd have hot water in my shower, until one morning last month when all that ran in the shower was the cold water. We made a few calls and were able to get our heater serviced. I will keep a closer eye on my hot water tank from now on.

After noticing that our water was hot for only one shower, I had it looked at and sure enough I needed a new water heater. I researched the different types available and chose an on demand model. We are very pleased with our decision.
