We rank the top 10 water heater brands and provide a wide range of review material to the left to help you find the right water heater. If you are considering a tankless water heater we recommend Bosch or Takagi and if you are looking at a conventional water heater we recommend Rheem or AO Smith.
First, you should decide whether you want a conventional water heater or a tankless or ‘on demand’ water heater. Nest, you should decide how many gallons you need based on the number of people using the hot water heater and your particular use habits. Finally, now that energy prices have skyrocketed you should pick one of the energy efficient hot water heaters to save money on heating costs.
The best place to buy a water heater is at Home Depot or Lowes becasue they have the best price and selection. You can also have your service installer buy it for you if you are having someone install it for you but you will pay a little extra for the convenience of having them buy it for you.
