Why consider updating your water heater?
All water heaters will eventually fail. When that time comes, hasty decisions may lead to long-term costs and energy impacts of the equipment. This is especially true during the colder months when an inefficient or broken water heater can be extremely costly and disrupt your daily life. To help customers avoid unnecessary expenses this winter, UI is offering helpful preparedness information on ENERGY STAR® qualified water heater options.
