Doing some research before your heater fails will enable you to select one that most appropriately meets your needs. The type of water tank you have determines the steps to take before, so follow the manufacturer's advice. If you heat with electricity and live in a warm and sunny climate, consider installing a solar water heater. The solar units are environmentally friendly and can now be installed on your roof to blend with the architecture of your house. Take more showers than baths.
Bathing uses the most hot water in the average household.
