Want To Install It Yourself? -- Then Get A Reliance Water Heater!
While many homeowners choose to leave the installation of a home hot water heating system to their local professional, others prefer to do this job themselves. And for more than two decades, a do-it-yourselfer's choice for home hot water heaters has been the Reliance brand. One of the reasons why Reliance water heaters are often chosen for a DIY install is that they are available from many different outlets -- hardware stores and building supply outlets -- eliminating the need to contact and purchase a water heater from a specialty dealer.
Reliance makes both gas and electric water heaters. One of their most popular gas models is the Self-Cleaning STA-KLEEN 1212 Series. These Reliance water heaters provide up to 50,000 BTU/H of heating power. In addition, this model incorporates their trademarked C3 technology that helps to prevent flammable gases and liquids from being ignited when the pilot light is on. This Reliance water heater is also self-cleaning and comes with a 12 year warranty on tank and parts.
Another Reliance gas water heater is their self-cleaning 909 series. These models provide up to 35,500 BTU/H of heating power and also feature their C3 technology, a flame arrestor and a sealed combustion chamber to enhance safe operation. As their name indicates, the 909 series of Reliance water heaters are also self-cleaning. These units also come with a 9 year warranty on the tank and parts.
If you have special ventilation needs or configuration requirements, you should look into purchasing a Reliance sidewall-vent gas water heater. These models allow you to choose either a direct-vent, power-vent or power direct-vent configuration for the venting of the gas flue. The Reliance sidewall-vent gas water heaters pull in outside air for combustion and then pump it back outside. These models come with 6-year warranty on tank and a 2-year warranty on parts. For homeowners who need -- or who wish to convert to -- an electric water heater, Reliance makes several different models which are powered by electricity rather than by natural gas. One of their most impressive models is the Self-Cleaning STA-KLEEN Lifetime series of electric water heaters. These Reliance water heaters are self-cleaning and come with a lifetime warranty on both the tank as well as the parts. This electric water heater can provide up to 5500 W per hour of heating power. This series of Reliance water heaters can be purchased in two sizes -- medium height or tall. Another excellent Reliance water heater is the Self-Cleaning STA-KLEEN 1212 Series. These units also provide up to 5500 W per hour of water heating and come in both tall and medium heights -- and since they are self-cleaning units they will operate more efficiently because sediment buildup will be reduced. If you're looking for a Reliance water heater to meet very special needs -- for example, very limited floor space -- then you should look into the 606 series. These 606 models can be purchased in a tall, medium, lowboy or tabletop size -- these Reliance water heaters are also available for mobile homes as well! They provide 4500 W per hour of hot water heating and come with a 6-year warranty on both parts and the tank.
