Q: Is it hard to install your own water heater?

• <div><p>It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you&rsquo;ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don&rsquo;t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.</p></div>

Q: Should I get a tankless water heater?

• <div><p>Tankless water heaters heat water as it passes through the unit instead of storing heated water in the tank. Their ability to produce hot water on an as-needed basis makes them more efficient. However, they are generally more expensive than traditional units. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/is-a-tankless-water-heater-worth-it.htm">Is a tankless water heater worth it</a>? Most homeowners will save money with a tankless unit in the long run by using less energy. </p></div>

Q: What’s wrong with high water pressure?

• <div><p>Excessive pressure (above 80 psi) puts too much stress on plumbing pipes, joints, and fixtures. This can lead to leaks and burst pipes. Plus, it shortens the lifespan of appliances, can waste water, and can raise your utility bills. High water pressure might feel like a gift, but it&rsquo;s actually a silent threat to plumbing. </p></div>

Q: Is a tankless water heater better than a storage tank water heater?

• <div><p>Tankless water heaters are more expensive than those with a storage tank, but they come with some impressive benefits that most homeowners find worth the higher investment. Most importantly, they provide unlimited hot water, so you&rsquo;ll never run out like you would with a storage tank. Tankless heaters are also more efficient, so comparing gallon-for-gallon, you&rsquo;ll spend less on hot water with a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters are also smaller, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer than storage tank water heaters.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace a hot water heater?

• <div><p>The average<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-water-heater-installation-cost.htm"> cost to replace a water heater</a> is <b>$1,325</b>. How much your replacement heater costs depends on the type, size, and complexity of installation. Gas and electric heaters may cost a similar amount out of pocket, but one type may cost more to operate than the other, depending on the cost of utilities in your area. </p></div>
