Default Re: How to change a water heater BY YOURSELF (for dummies?) with pictures

You and your team have once again won the battle! In 2012 I had to install a new one in our house. It and the house were new in 2006. Electric water heater. I found out that the only ones I could get locally were sold in "years" meaning 6 year, 8 year and 12 year lifespan. The one that came with the house was a "6 year" almost to the day! Menards was the only place that had an "8 year" and a "12 year" required a higher amp electric service so the "8 year" is what we bought.

In our old trailer house, we replaced the water heater once in 34 years. Now I guess a new one will be on the agenda in 2020! Quality on the decline----probably be a thousand bucks and a "one year" by then.
