If your water heater goes out on you, then you know you have to replace it. However, there are a lot of other reasons why you might want to have your water heater replaced with a new one that doesn't have to do with it going out. Here are a few reasons why you might want to buy a new water heater for your home:
You've found the water heater in your new home is too small for your needs
It is possible for a water heater that worked perfectly in a house for one family to prove to be too small for the next family that moves into that same house. This is due to the fact that your household may use a lot more hot water than the people who lived in the house before you. Some reasons you may use more hot water may include:
Having a larger water heater will resolve the hot water issues for you, and it is the only thing you can really do to remedy the issue, aside from figuring out how to greatly cut down your household's hot water usage, which may not be realistic.
You would rather go with a different type of water heater
You might want to have a new water heater installed in your home because you feel a different type would work out better for you. For example, you may want to switch to a tankless water heater. There are quite a few benefits that they have to offer. A few of these benefits include:
You're starting to rack up repair bills
If you are starting to have issues with your water heater and it's beginning to need various repairs, then replacing it now may be best. Once you have a new one installed, you can get away from those issues that can leave you without water at the most inopportune times and cost you money.

My homes have always had either copper or PVC plumbing pipes. But when my plumbing system needed an overhaul last spring, I wanted a piping system for my home that I could work on myself when needed. There were a lot of good reasons to choose PEX piping, but my favorite thing about the PEX piping is that it's easy to work with, even if you're a beginner like me. Now I can make small repairs myself instead of calling the plumber every time I have a minor leak or other small problem. I still call the plumber for the big stuff, but it's more affordable now that I can take care of small issues myself. I started this blog to help others learn how they, too, can do DIY plumbing repairs at home.
