You'll Love Your New Water Heater!

Saturday December 29, 2007
When it's time to replace that old water heater with a nice new, energy efficient unit, you'll just love it. And it's really not that hard to do.

In the tutorial Replacing a Water Heater I'll walk you through the process, step-by-step. Doesn't matter if it's a gas or electric water heater. I'll show you how.

Then you can get that warm, cozy feeling yourself! (P.S. yes, that guy is still single..)

Thank you for all of your information. It sure helps me out a lot and makes my life easier. It’s to bad that I am not younger and single, because he would have a run for his money. Happy New Year

I would really appreciate it if you could expand on exactly why I’d love a nice, new, energy efficient hot water heater. How are they better? And how much better are they? (How much more energy efficient are they?)

FWIW, mine is probably at least 20 years so I’m already thinking about replacing it … I’m just not sure if I’d really notice a difference between my old and a newer unit.

This would have been a very good opportunity to mention the “tankless” water heater……..as i understand it, they are much more fuel efficient that any of the “tank” water heaters!!!
