Your Home - Electric Water Heaters
Save money and precious energy with the new generation of electric water heaters, manufactured by Marathon which feature a polybutylene tank with a lifetime warranty.
As of January 1, 2011, the North Western Electric water heater program is as follows:
FREE Electric Water Heater
North Western Electric members can receive a FREE 50-gallon electric water heater if they:
- Build a new home
- Replace an existing propane, natural gas, or oil water heater
If a member desires a larger electric water heater, the member will pay 1/3 of the cost of the larger water heater.
Discounted Electric Water Heater
North Western Electric members can receive a discounted price for an electric water heater if they:
- Replace an existing electric water heater, not under a lifetime warranty, that leaks and cannot be repaired
- Replace a small electric water heater, not under a lifetime warranty, that does not provide enough hot water
The member price will be 1/3 of the cost of the replacement water heater. If the member is replacing an electric water heater under a lifetime warranty, the member will pay full price of the water heater.
For current prices and available sizes, please contact the office at 419-636-5051 or toll-free at 1-800-647-6932.
A load management radio control switch is required to be installed to the water heater.
Electric Water Heater Installations
North Western Electric offers a professional electric water heater installation service to its members. Installation is limited to the replacement of existing electric water heater where no extensive wiring, plumbing or carpentry work is involved, and where it is not directly connected to other mechanical components (such as geothermal units or water softeners). North Western Electric reserves the right to refuse installation based on these criteria. A pre-installation visit may be required (at no cost to the member).
Member prices are:
- Replacing existing electric - $70.00 an hour
- Removal of old water heater - $75.00
Electric Water Heater Repair Service
North Western Electric provides FREE replacement parts and a repair service of electric water heaters at a discounted price to its members:
- Parts for the repair of electric water heaters will be provided FREE of charge. Members wanting to repair the water heater themselves can obtain parts from the Cooperative office during normal office hours.
- A service charge of $70 will be applied to calls for repair of electric water heaters by Cooperative personnel. This service does not include the installation of a new water heater. Service will be available during normal business hours.
- Service calls for load management switch repairs, water heater inspections, or other non-water heater marketing programs will not be assessed a charge.
