Choosing the Right Water Heater for Your Home
Household Size & Usage:
The size of your water heater should match your household's peak hot water demands.
Assess the number of people in your home and your most intensive hot water usage hour to determine the right capacity
Tank vs. Tankless:
Decide between traditional or tankless water heaters...
Traditional heaters store and heat water continuously.
Tankless water heaters heat water on demand and can be more energy-efficient.
Energy Efficiency:
Opt for water heaters with high Energy Factor (EF) ratings to save on utility bills and reduce environmental impact.
Finding the Perfect Match:
Measure Peak Hour Demand... Tally up the gallons required during your busiest hot water usage hour to find your peak hour demand.
Capacity and First-Hour Rating... Ensure the water heater’s gallon capacity and first-hour rating (FHR) meet your needs. For instance, a family of four should consider a 40-50 gallon water heater, adjusting for usage habits like long showers or large tubs.
Consider Future Needs... Anticipate any likely increase in water usage to avoid undersizing your future needs.
