Once a heater is genuinely finished, the water in this part of Berkeley County should decide what replaces it.
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.
Getting the size right
Older Hanahan homes are often modest in size and were fitted with a heater to match. If the household has grown since, or you have added a soaking tub, running out of hot water is a sizing issue rather than a fault. Replacing is the right moment to put that right.
Where it sits
If your heater is in the attic or above living space it needs a drip pan plumbed to a drain. Plenty of older installations do not have one, and that is the difference between a puddle and a ruined ceiling.
