82%Single-family homes
About 74% of homes were built since 2010, so many original water heaters are reaching the age when replacement planning makes sense.
77% of homes heat with electricity, which usually means an electric water heater. It’s worth getting a price on a heat pump model too.
U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey ACS 2024 5-year ↗ (2020-2024). Heating fuel is what homes use to heat the house. It often, but not always, matches the water heater’s fuel.
