Choosing a New Water Heater

Before removing the old unit to replace it, do some investigative work. Look at how the pipes and wiring are connected, and check to see where they lead. Then, use this information to see what water heater will fit in the space best. And choose a new unit with the same voltage as the existing unit. Also, select one that has a polyurethane foam insulation — it costs a little more than a standard unit, but because of its improve efficiency, you recoup your investment in lower hot water bills throughout the life of the unit.
Size
The most popular size unit has a 40-gallon tank that comes with a five-year warranty, but you can find a range of sizes, from 30-and 65-gallons. Typically, a 50-65 gallon heater is large enough for a family of four who don't have a high demand for water. You may indeed need a larger size if you use a lot of water (to avoid running out of hot water frequently), expand your house to include another bathroom, add new hot water-using appliances like a hot tub or dishwasher, or if your family grows.
Features
You would think that you could just pick up the phone and order a hot water heater the way you order a pizza, selecting the “ingredients” (features) you want. Well, it doesn’t work that way. You may want to check out the features that are available for this hard-working water appliance before selecting one.
The most expensive units last longer, heat more water, and are less costly to operate, and this is reflected in the length of their warranties. When shopping for a hot water heater, look for the following features:
Look for heat traps, which are installed between the hot water pipes and the water heater. These slow the heat transfer from the heater to the pipes. Extra insulation around the unit also helps to prevent heat loss, making the heater less costly to operate.
Look for fast recovery, which allows the heater to produce hot water so that it can keep up with peak demand situations, such as several showers are in use and the washer and dishwasher are operating.
Look for stainless steel elements that resist lime build up and accidental dry-fire burnout. This save you in case you accidentally start the heater without any water in it.
Look for a self-cleaning system to fight lime and sediment build-up. This improves the tank life and maintains peak efficiency.
 
Maintaining Your Water Heater

To keep a water heater in good working condition, follow these simple steps to flush out mineral deposits and sediment that reduce the heating efficiency and cause corrosion. Do this once a year for sure, two times is better.
To flush and drain a water heater, you need a garden hose and a rag:
Find the cold water supply pipe line above the heater and turn off the valve.
Hook up the garden hose to the drain valve at the bottom of the heater and run the end of the hose to a floor drain or out a window.
Turn on the drain valve and open the hot water faucet at the bathtub or laundry tub.
To refill the heater after servicing, follow these steps:
Turn off the drain valve and the tub or laundry faucet.
Go to the hot water faucet that is farthest from the heater and open this faucet to allow the air to escape from the system.
Turn on the cold water supply valve on the top of the water heater.
When water runs from the faucet you turned in Step 2, the heater is full of water. Go around to the other faucets and open them to allow any trapped air to escape. You're back in business.
