Additional information:
Choosing the right size:
Your existing tank should have a sticker on the side that provides the make, model, and serial number, along with other important details. One of these details will include the capacity of the tank. This is where you can find out what size of tank you need. Typically most home owners will replace their current tank with the same size tank.
Upgrading to a larger tank:
In some cases, if you have a busy house hold and are using lots of hot water, the tank that is currently installed might not be able to keep up to the demand placed on it. In this situation, there is an option to upgrade to a larger hot water tank. In order to do this we will need to have adequate space to fit the larger tank in. The difference between a 50 gallon and 60 gallon tank is roughly 4-6 inches larger in height, and 3-4 inches wider. These can often require a new tank pan as well.
Price seems high? Heres why:
You might call around and find that many companies offer tank installations at a lower price. Beware of this. The reason that the pricing is much cheaper is likely because they don't include a few very important key parts that are actually required by law to be installed on every tank. Either that, or their price is not up front and they will spring the additional costs on you when they are in your home. These parts include:
1. Seismic strapping is required to be installed around every hot water tank to ensure that in the event of an earth quake the hot water tank will stay in place. In the event of an earth quake the last thing you want is to be dealing with a flood, and potential gas leak, not to mention having hot water is essential during emergency situations.
2. Thermal expansion tank. When your hot water tank heats up, the cool water expands and causes excess pressure in your water system. The thermal expansion tank allows an area for the excess pressure to go, rather than putting stress on your plumbing system.
Be sure to ask the other companies you speak with if they are including these things in their up front price. If they aren't, you may want to reconsider as this could potentially void your warranty on your new tank.
