RUUD Gas Water Heater
By Becky Knouff on
I can remember living with a water heater which didn't get the water hot enough, or it didn't keep it hot long.Nothing is more frustrating then running out of hot water in the middle of a shower or waiting an hour for water to get hot.
After getting fed up, we got the RUUD Gas Water Heater we have now, and I have never been disappointed.The water is always hot, and it stays hot to the end of the shower. I can take long showers without worrying about my water getting cold.
I use to think electric water heaters were better, but I have changed my mind since using this gas water heater.It uses less gas then the electric ones did electricity making it more cost efficient.
It had a 5 year warranty, and it has not needed much maintenance. Cleaning and draining is all we have ever done to it.It has been really easy to maintain.
I am one person who hates to deal with appliances or anything which doesn't work right.I have no patience for things breaking.Although, I know it will happen, I expect to get my money's worth.Things I purchaseshould have some longevity.
This water heater has served us well.
You are so right, nothing is worse than running out of hot water and then the long wait for it to heat up again. This sounds like a great solution to that problem.
I have never had a problem with showers, mine has always been with baths. I can never get the tub full (to the way I like it) without running out of hot water. Have you tried this one on a bath? Thanks for the info.
Becky, we have always had an electric water heater until this house. I am paranoid about gas...just don't like it... But got to say that this is the best water heater we've ever had too:0) Live and learn, right?
I agree-you will get your money's worth out of your heater!! Sometimes you have to spend a little extra to get exactly what you want!
I agree with you...there is nothing worse than running out of hot water. We upgraded from a 40 gallon to a 50 gallon tank.
Glad it's working out for you, I've never had an electric water heater, but I can tell you that I think gas is the way to go, glad you're pleased with it.
Our Rudd 11 1/2 year old gas water heater finally stopped heating water today......we just bought the hourse 4 years ago, and it was installed in August of 1996 and had a shut off valve replace one year later in 1997. That's all that has been done to it -- repair man coming tomorrow.....we'll see.....don't know if we can fix it or not. Cannot pay much for a new one!
It's always nice to know that you have lots of hot water. Sounds like a great product.
