One of the most important (and most overlooked) steps in choosing a water heater is making sure it actually fits in the space you have. While a 60-gallon electric unit offers great capacity, it does need some clearance to operate safely and be serviced easily.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to measure your space, what codes typically require, and which models work best in tight utility closets or basements.

When you're choosing a water heater, it’s easy to focus on tank size alone. But if you want consistent hot water—especially during busy mornings or back-to-back showers—there’s one number that matters more than most:

First Hour Rating (FHR).

In this guide, I’ll explain what FHR is, why it’s different from tank size, and how to choose the right FHR for your home and lifestyle.

One of the most common questions I get is: “Is 50 or 60 gallons enough for my home?” The answer depends on how many people live in your home and when they use hot water.

This guide breaks it down clearly—so you can choose the right tank size with confidence and avoid cold showers or wasted energy.
