Choose A Short Or Tall 40 Gallon Water Heater

If you currently have a 40-gallon water heater, it is more affordable to replace it with a similar short- or tall-model.

Which One Do You Have?

Let's make this normally difficult question easy to answer!

Standard light switches in most homes are 48 inches high, as required by the national electrical code. Short water heaters are usually about 48 inches tall. Tall models are about a foot taller, reaching around 60 inches, or 5 feet.
