You're excited by a new gas water heater install.

It's beautiful, a 12 year warranty GE 50 gallon gas water heater (the plumber was impressed with it)

Took 3 of us & a hydraulic jack to leverage the damn thing into the closet & up over the drip pan, but it's done

it's a nice conversation piece when you're showering with your sweetie

So, now you can get a 3rd-degree burn when the kids flush the toilet while you're in the shower?

Pliablemoose another sign is when you walk around proudly admiring the two nice looking ceiling fans you just put up...lol. I would love that water heater by the way.

Gratz on your new baby.

I like stuff built to quality so that doesn't make me old either.

Did you know that the life of the warranty is designed specifically for the size of the anode bar on the water heater!!?!! As soon as the 12 years of warranty is up, corrosion begins!

Yep, you just confirmed that I am old. A new water heater would excite me too

 

[kindest]

you know your old when you start cussing everytime you sit down or stand up.
that or a moan/grunt.

You know you'll be excited about a water heater installation when you take your first mid-winter cold water shower (in the areas that have a "real" winter).

There's a bit more difference than that, all the water heaters tested by Consumer Reports that had a 12 year warranty had more insulation & were more efficient than the shorter warrantied WH's. Except for the White Westinghouse which were identical...
