There are so many tank style water heaters to choose from. We know it can be overwhelming! That’s why we sat down with our Master Plumbers to get their opinions on the best tank style water heaters. The verdict? We recommend going with Rheem, specifically for the Professional Series with 8 Year Warranty.
Why Do Our Plumbers Like Rheem?
After years of working on water heaters in the Austin and San Antonio areas, we’ve seen just about every brand of heater go through its 10 year lifecycle. We started recommending Rheem heaters to customers because we received so many fewer calls for problems with these water heaters over other brands. We rarely have to replace parts like elements, thermostats, or gas control valves on Rheems. The gas water heaters are made with a high quality metal gas valve whereas other brands use cheap plastic. We’ve seen that these gas controls really hold up much better over time!
We also like the warranty that Rheem offers to customers. It covers malfunction of the tank and component parts for 8 years. When you have an issue with your water heater, it’s very easy to call your plumber to diagnose the issue and then Rheem will send replacement parts right away.
