Q: What size breaker does a hot water heater need?

• <div><p>When wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-breaker-for-water-heater.htm">what size of breaker for a water heater</a> is appropriate, the majority of hot water heaters need a 30-amp, two-pole breaker. Most residential water heaters use 240 volts and between 3,500 and 5,500 watts. If your appliance matches these measurements, a 30-amp breaker is likely perfect. Owners of point-of-use water heaters using 120 volts and between 1,500 and 3,000 watts often find that a 30-amp breaker is adequate. Water heaters that use more watts than average may need a 40-amp breaker. Smaller units that use fewer watts could potentially use a 20-amp breaker.</p></div>

Q: Will a larger water heater require a larger circuit breaker?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-breaker-for-water-heater.htm">larger heater requires a larger breaker</a>&mdash;unless there&rsquo;s one already installed. The longer answer to this question is more nuanced. Do you place demands on the heater at the same time as running other heavy-duty appliances like ovens and washing machines? Do you live in an older home that may not have considered the higher electrical demands we have now? Breakers need to be sized at 125% of the load. To find that load, you should call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/electrical/">local electrical pro</a>. </p></div>

Q: Are hybrid water heaters noisy?

• <div><p>Yes, hybrid water heaters can be noisy &mdash; noisier than traditional water heaters. The sound they produce is often compared to the hum of a dishwasher. Its noise comes from the heat pump&rsquo;s fan and compressor as they work to pull in and compress the air. While it&rsquo;s not totally disruptive, especially if the unit is installed in less frequented areas, like a basement or garage, it&rsquo;s something to keep in mind if you&rsquo;re sensitive to noise or if the unit will be placed near bedrooms or living spaces.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to repair or replace my water heater?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re having problems with your hot water heater and it&rsquo;s 10 to 15 years old&mdash;the typical life span of a gas hot water heater&mdash;you may want to consider replacing it rather than repairing it. Water heater replacement costs about $1,300 on average. If your water heater is younger than nine or 10 years, paying for repairs is most likely worth it. You can always have a plumber assess your fixture to see what it would cost to fix it and then decide if it&rsquo;s more cost-effective in the long run to replace it.</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>

"Chris S was great. He is very detailed in his work and also suggested buying a maintenance plan which I did. He explained the value the plan represents to me and how I use it. Already have my AC tune up scheduled for next week. The price was more than I anticipated paying, but after watching a professional install it, it was worth every penny. I would never have been able to line everything up like Chris did. Looks awesome and now I have a working dishwasher. Couldn't be happier."
