Major appliances can be expensive, but sometimes the investment, in the long run, isn't all that expensive when you do the math. A water heater for example can cost a lot of money upfront but consider how much you use this appliance in a single day. It's a necessary part of your home and without it, life would be difficult for you. Boiling water just to bathe will eventually get old. Hot water is used in a number of ways throughout the day, not only for bathing; you use it for washing your hands, washing your dishes, and your clothing as well. Without hot water instantaneously in your home, life would be a bit rough. If your hot water heater is not in the best of shape, you may want to consider installing a new one just to prevent it from going out on you when you least expect it. Read on for a few reasons you may want to consider a new water heater installation for your home. 

1. Age

A hot water heater can last a number of years, but you don't want it on its last leg when you're in the middle of entertaining your guests for the holiday, or any other time for that matter. If your hot water heater is on the older side of its lifetime, you may want to consider installing a new hot water heater for your home and prevent that unexpected breakdown to occur to you and your family.

2. Size

The size of your hot water heater matters. If it's too large, it's a waste and if it's too small, it just won't get the job done. The size of your home, the demand you require and the number of people in your home all should determine the size of your hot water heater. If someone that lived in your home before you lived alone only used a little bit of hot water and needed a smaller unit, it doesn't mean this is going to work for you and your larger family. You may need something larger to accommodate the extra usage. If your hot water heater is too small, consider a larger one.

3. Repairs

If you've already had to have your hot water heater worked on, or you've experienced a breakdown or two, you should consider investing in a new unit before the major breakdown occurs and you end up spending more on repairs than it would cost to replace it. If you are paying for a lot of repairs, consider a new appliance and save some money.

If you have an aging hot water heater, a water heater that isn't the right size, or you have paid a lot of money in repairs, you should consider having a new hot water heater installed in your home. Hire a professional plumber to install your hot water heater.
