If your tank-type water heater is approximately 8-10 years old, it may be time for a replacement. Piedmont’s natural gas experts can help you select the right natural gas water heater and have it properly installed.
There are two main types of natural gas water heaters: tank and tankless. Each type has its pros and cons.
To avoid a family member or guest having to take a cold shower, consider these questions:
You can install the new water heater in the same location as your old one to save time and money. However, if you need to relocate it, discuss these issues with your sales representative:
It isn’t just the size of the storage tank that matters when selecting a new water heater; its efficiency and First-Hour Rating are equally important.
Installers should be licensed, bonded and insured to protect you and your home if something is damaged or someone is injured during the installation. In most cases, using an unlicensed installer will void the warranty. In the case of Rinnai tankless water heaters, the installer must also be a certified Rinnai installer or the warranty will be voided.
