When to replace your hot water system

• You should think about replacing your hot water
  system, especially the tank type, if its sat in
  your home for a decade or more. Old systems are
  leak-prone, probably have sediment building up in
  the bottom, and take longer to heat your water.
  Before you go about replacing your hot water
  system, though, theres some questions to ask
  yourself and the plumber.

Its all about labels

• Are you satisfied with the brand of tank you have
  now or do you want to switch? You have the luxury
  of choice. Theres gas, electric, tankless, and
  the list goes on.
• Check user ratings and explore the brand
  websites. Vulcan, Rinnai, Dux, and Rheem are the
  staple brands found in most homes.

• Downgrading to a smaller tank can save you money
  less water usage means smaller bills. Elgas

  home expenses. You can also save some extra money

  ones.
