Water heaters are invaluable home appliances for providing hot water to your home, but they don’t last forever. If you have an electric water heater, many have an estimated life expectancy of 10 to 15 years. This guide will cover how to install an electric water heater. It includes basic information on positioning the new water heater, connecting the electrical supply and adjusting the thermostat: https://thd.co/3IIVrr5

In an electric water heater, a heating element heats the water – as opposed to a gas-fired burner, which is what heats the water in a gas-fired water heater. The heating element is controlled by a thermostat located on the outside of the hot water heater.

If your needs change before then, your water heater wears out or you just want an upgrade, you can replace the electric water heater yourself. If you need to replace a failing electric hot water heater or install a new one, you need a dedicated electric wire and a cold-water supply line.

Safety Tip: Before installation, turn off the water. Make sure power to the water heater is turned off at the main circuit breaker. Remove any fuses.
