New rules will soon go into effect to make water heaters more efficient. On the consumerwatch, julie watts explains why theres no rush to buy old water heaters. Reporter you generally dont think about them until something goes wrong. My roommate, my sister, um, tried getting a bath in the morning and had no hot water. Reporter when that happened the water heater suddenly becomes the most important appliance in your house. You may want to consider replacing your current water heater sooner than later because they tanks are going the way of the incandescent bulb being phased out in favor of more efficient models. The tanks are going to get significantly larger and significantly more expensive. Reporter effective april 16 the federal law requires all manufacturers to make most water heaters more efficient. And that means a bigger tank with more insulation. Up to two inches wider and taller which may require some remodeling if yours is in a tight space. If its in a cubby hole under a countertop that will be a problem. Reporter the new improved version could be hundreds more which has many rushing out to buy a new old model. Manufacturers can no longer make them after april 16 and the remaining old models are going fast. The Standard Life of a water heater is 7 or 8 years.

Reporter most warranties expire after six years so if your water heater is nearing that mark, it may be time to think about replacing it before your next cold shower. Cant go without hot water. Reporter now, while the new models will cost more up front you will save on those energy bills.
