Ordered A New Hot Water Tank (Take 2)
[ Wednesday February 27th 2019 at 11:54 pm ]
My attempt at using tankless hasn't worked out. The water isn't warm out. We are in the Canadian winter. The water coming in my home is a mere few degrees F above freezing. I rely on the warmth of water to aid in my pain control. This hasn't worked. I would need absolute top of the line to produce adequately warm water. It is time to try something different.
I've placed an order for a new hot water tank. This model has more insulation than is typical. More important to me is the design of the hot water tank. This is a quality model not made of typical hot water materials. The tank itself has a life time warranty. It is polymer based.
Ultimately you pay for what you buy. I've had 3 water heaters burst since 2009. I've resolved this for the long term. This indeed was more money up front. When I consider the burst tank rate I will have started saving money after the passage of another 10 years. This isn't to mention this is now a selling feature of this home when the time comes for me to move.
