Product Review
Not certain how one reviews a hot water heater apart from it supposed to heat water and this 1 does fine. We replaced an old electric HW heater with gas just last week. Until we get a couple of utility bills I won't know if this can be an economical swap or not. Our gas company ( who also offers our electricity ) has a rebate program for conversion to gas, so there was several dollars off. This can be my 1st gas HW heater, and my initial observations are that it is noisey, or at the least I never heard the prior electric unit when it was operating and with gas you clearly have a combustion burner running at times. I'm told nonetheless that gas offers really quick recovery and that it must minimize my energy bill overall. Fit and finish of this model looks excellent. This unit is about 1 foot taller than its electric predecessor, and our pet cat no longer finds the best of this HW heater accomodating for sleeping, with its' somewhat decreased diameter and a chimney smack dab within the middle of her favorite spot. She's not happy, but so far we're. (More...)
