5 Water Heaters Plumbers ACTUALLY Install In Their Own Homes

I made a 42-page field manual for homeowners who don't want to get overcharged or oversold on their next HVAC decision. Same psychology applies here: https://exposi.pages.dev/?utm_source=... The water heaters plumbers install in their own homes? Not what's on the Home Depot shelf. Here are the 5 they actually buy for themselves. You'll learn why the same brand name can mean two completely different products depending on where you buy it, why Bradford White is sold exclusively through licensed plumbers instead of Home Depot, and why one simple anode rod swap can double the life of your tank. We also compare tank vs. tankless water heaters, including the Rheem Marathon and the Rinnai RU199iN, so you know exactly what fits your home and budget. The most surprising pick on this list isn't the most expensive one — and it's not sold in any store at all. Stick around to see which water heater plumbers trust enough to install in their own home, and why the cheapest option upfront is often the most expensive one over 15 years. 0:00 - Introduction / Why Plumbers Buy Differently 1:30 - #5: Rheem Performance Platinum (The Convenience Pick) 3:45 - #4: A.O.
