Hi all,
I've recently read about the new water heater standards mean that the new heaters will be wider. Unclear how much, but most say 1 to 2 inches. I currently have a water heater in my attic that measures 19" in diameter. The attic opening is 20 inches. The current heater was installed when the house was built in 2007, and still works fine.
I noticed they still have heaters this size at the local Home Depot. I wonder if it would make sense to go ahead and get one now? If I just store it for now, I wonder if installers would have problems installing one I already have, vs one of their products?
