These changes will have an impact on how water heaters are designed, manufactured, tested and installed. And this will ultimately cost consumers more in equipment and installation costs. Also, since the new water heaters will be larger, they may need to be relocated along with your existing heating equipment.<\/p>\n<p>If your water heater is over 10 years old, it&#8217;s about time to change it. You could wait, but if you do, after April 15, 2015, that newly manufactured water heater will have to meet those new, more costly standards&#8230; and it will cost you more.<\/p>\n<p>Besides replacing your existing water heater with a similar unit you can choose to upgrade to a tankless water heater. You&#8217;ll save energy dollars because it only heats the water when you open up a faucet. It doesn&#8217;t store water and constantly heat it waiting for you to use it.<\/p>\n<p>Let the trusted experts at Malek Heating &amp; Cooling help you to make the right decision about your new water heater. But you need to act quickly&#8230; there&#8217;s less than 90 days before the new rules take effect. After April 15, we&#8217;ll be installing the new water heaters at the new, higher cost.
