There are over 150 Maytag water heaters to choose from. To select search for the right model for your family, follow these simple steps… 1. Select the fuel source you require: Natural Gas, Propane Gas or Electricity. 2. Determine the Minimum Required First Hour Rating for your home. First Hour Rating is the most useful measurement to determine if a water heater will meet your needs. It is the amount of hot water you can count on having for an hour of concentrated use. Use the following chart to determine your minimum requirements. Number of Bedrooms In Your Home Number of Bathrooms In Your Home   1 to 1.5 2 to 2.5 3 to 3.5 1 42 Gallon Minimum First Hour Rating 2 54 Gallon Minimum First Hour Rating 54 Gallon Minimum First Hour Rating   3 54 Gallon Minimum First Hour Rating 67 Gallon Minimum First Hour Rating 67 Gallon Minimum First Hour Rating 4   67 Gallon Minimum First Hour Rating 80 Gallon Minimum First Hour Rating 5 80 Gallon Minimum First Hour Rating 80 Gallon Minimum First Hour Rating 6     80 Gallon Minimum First Hour Rating Choose a Maytag water heater with a First Hour Rating that meets or exceeds your minimum requirement. However, to insure that you always have an abundant supply of hot water, you should consider a water heater with a first hour rating well in excess of the minimum, particularly if you have a large whirlpool tub, teenagers living in the home or other "high usage" factors. 3. Make sure your new Maytag Water Heater will fit in the space occupied by your current water heater. Water heaters are often installed in small spaces. So, you need to know the approximate height and diameter of the water heater you are replacing, as well as how much extra room is available at the top and sides. Then, select a Maytag water heater with a height and diameter that will fit within that space. previous page
