Hi all,
Have a couple of gas water heater-related questions:
1. Just wonder about those ultra low NOx gas water heaters on the market today.
HD seems to be phasing out the low-NOx gas water heaters and bringing in a lot of ultra-low NOx units instead. Definitely higher price (25% more). Is the ultra-low-NOx worth the higher price?
How's the quality like for the ultra-low NOx heaters? Are they as reliable as the low-NOx gas water heaters? I overheard there're complications and quality problems -- not sure if they're still around now.
2. Which gas water heater brand is more reliable? I have GE, Whirlpool 6th sense and Kenmore in mind.
3. Electronic ignition.
My good old gas water heater still needs a match for the ignition--but is working fine. It's is aging so I might eventually need to replace it.
I noticed some complain about the current Piezo electronic ignition system. Is it reliable (seems to be what many heaters are using these days)?
Thx... .
