When a heater has genuinely reached the end, the water here should shape what you put in its place.
Be careful with tankless on hard water
Tankless units are efficient and save space, but they scale up faster than a tank does in Berkeley County water. Fitted alongside softening they work very well. Fitted on untreated water with no maintenance plan, they will disappoint you — and we would rather say that before you spend the money than after.
Getting the size right
Plenty of homes here have a heater sized to whatever the builder fitted originally. If your household has grown, or you have added a soaking tub or a second washing machine, running out of hot water is a sizing issue rather than a fault.
Where it sits
If your heater is in the attic or above living space, it needs a drip pan plumbed to a drain. A number of installations here do not have one, and that is the difference between a puddle and a ruined ceiling.
