Make Sure You Purchase a Water Heater That Meets Your Demand 

Your water heater needs to be able to meet the demand of your home and family. This means that if you have a family of four, you'll need a water heater with at least a 40-gallon capacity. If you have a larger family or your water usage is higher than average, you may need an even bigger water heater. There are a variety of water heater models and sizes on the market, so be sure to find one that is the perfect fit for your needs.

Choose the Right Fuel Source 

There are three main fuel sources for water heaters: electricity, natural gas, and propane. Each fuel source has its own set of pros and cons, so be sure to do your research before making a decision. Depending on your home and location, one fuel source may make more sense than another.

Determine the Right Water Heater Location 

The location of your water heater is important for two reasons: efficiency and safety. When it comes to efficiency, you want to find a location that will help your water heater run as efficiently as possible. This often means placing it in an area that is well-insulated and away from drafts. For safety, you'll want to make sure your water heater is in an area that won't flood in the event of a water leak.

Install a Water Softener System to Aid Your Water Heater 

If you live in an area with hard water, it's important to install a water softener system before your water heater. Hard water can cause a number of problems for water heaters, including decreased efficiency and shortened lifespan. A water softener system will remove the minerals that cause hard water, making it easier on your water heater and saving you money in the long run.
