Water Heater Changes in Fort Collins

Big Changes to Water Heaters for Residents in Denver, Commerce City, and Surrounding Areas

The U.S. Department of Energy has put into effect new regulations that require all manufacturers of water heaters to meet a higher energy factor (EF) rating. Based on the new requirements, there will be significant changes to water heaters manufactured after April 15, 2015. This includes gas-fired, oil-fired, electric, tabletop, instantaneous gas-fired and instantaneous electric. Tankless water heaters already meet the new requirements.

How Does This Affect Me?

Some of the changes that affect you as a consumer are as follows:

  • Higher priced units – up to 35% more expensive
  • Larger units – 2” tall and 2”wider, and in some cases units may be even larger
  • More complicated installation requirements
  • Possible significant home remodeling costs if your water heater is located in a small space like a closet or attic.

These new regulations will improve the efficiency of water heaters, however, resulting in energy savings for the homeowner.

Why Do I Care?

According to manufacturer’s suggested service life, the average lifespan of a water heater is about 8-12 years. Homeowners with water heaters 10 years old or older need to seriously consider replacing it now.
