Water Heater Replacement in South Hampton After April 15th

Today is the day that water heater regulations go into effect nationwide, raising the standard of water heater efficiency for homes across the U.S. What does that mean for your home?

Essentially, the new water heater models are higher efficiency because they are required to have more insulation. This insulation keeps heat locked inside so that the heat you use to warm water for cleaning, cooking, and showering doesn’t escape— this prevents energy waste and ultimately lowers energy bills. Which is great! Here in Southampton, most people are still using conventional water heaters that heat water in a storage tank — older models, and even current ones, aren’t insulated well enough to make the new grade. Better efficiency is a good thing. The only problem is that the new water heaters are on average:

  • 2″ Wider and Longer
  • Up to 35% More Expensive

At first, this doesn’t seem like to big of a deal, but then you need to consider whether or not the newer, larger, and more expensive high efficiency models are going to fit your home…and your budget! If your water heater is in a tight closet or utility room, you might not be able to replace it with the high efficiency model without cutting a hole or even knocking out a wall.

So what can you do? Do you just wait around until your current water heater breaks, forcing you to make an expensive and inconvenient upgrade? No — luckily, you still have some options when you work with Central Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning. But you’ll need to act quickly! Time for getting a water heater replacement without upgrading is running out!
