All water heaters run on 240/220 Volts. True or False
FALSE - While not common there are water heaters that run on 120 Volts. I have one.
When I wanted to replace my 20+ year-old water heater, I never thought about the voltage of the system. I presumed it ran on 240/220 Volts. To my surprise it didn't. However, I didn't find that out until Delta Mechanical came to install my original purchase.
The plumbing technician informed me that the old unit was wired for 120 Volts. (Mind you, that unit was in the house when I purchased it I. 2003.)
The technician checked this. The breaker is a 20 Amp breaker. Delta Mechanical was informed of this. So, the unit I purchased could not be installed. They came back the next day with a 30-gallon unit that would run on 120 Volts with a 20 Amp breaker.
I had to call electrician, which cost me an additional $200 to come out and tell me that the 20 amp breaker would trip with 3000 WATT elements. There were a couple other things Delta did incorrectly. I contacted Delta and requested they reimburse me for the electrician.
I just received an email stating they would not. So, if you decide to use them, make certain you know the following: Breaker size, voltage in place ( 240/220) and wattsge of existing elements.
STAY AWAY from this company Home Depot users them which is how we came to use them They replaced our hot water heater and had to come back times over about a month period because the city failed them You can be assured that if I make a purchase anywhere and the business uses them I'll take my business elsewhere
