Water Heater Installation in Small Bellingham Crawlspace

 Below is a great example of the interesting spaces we see in households serviced by the Barkley Plumbers! Bellingham is notorious for its beautiful and well-kept homes that were constructed in the 18 and 1900s, and our plumbers take pride in keeping these homes safe from water damage so that we can admire them for decades to come!

Water Heater Changes on April 16, 2015

This is the biggest change to plumbing since the low flow toilets in 1994.

The water heaters will be fatter, taller and more expensive than they were on April 15, 2015. The feds required the water heater companies to design a better unit and the best they could come up with is more insulation. And a higher price, of course, up to 30% more.

This will affect those who have their water heaters squeezed into those tight spots. The changes go far beyond what I wrote here, but for our slice of America, this is enough.

If your water heater is 10 years old or more, now is the time to replace it.
