Purchasing a Whirlpool water heater from a store like Lowes can be an excellent way to save money on energy costs. The control unit is the most important part. While the heater itself can cost hundreds of dollars, the controls are not. It can also cost up to a hundred dollars to replace. Changing the thermo-couplers and cleaning the screen below the water heater isn't enough to fix a problem, but if it breaks down, you'll be out of hot water again soon. If you're interested in purchasing a new water heater for your home, an American Standard electric water heater may be a good choice. American Standard's products meet strict standards for energy efficiency and water quality, and they're backed by a limited warranty covering the heat exchanger and the tank. Purchasing a water heater that meets these standards can save you money over the lifetime of the appliance, as well as your sanity.
