Where to buy a water heater
We lost a 40 gal gas water heater in the hurricane (Mulege)and need to replace it. We also need a small electric water heater. Has anyone
purchased either on the way down in Ensenada at Home Depot or know if Santa Rosalia or Loreto have anywhere to buy them? Thanks.

I have a tankless propane model, purchased at Home Depot in Ensenada. They also have the standard tank type.

Home Depot is a complete rip off! Try your local fereteria keep your money local! It'll probably be cheaper "F" the rip off Home depot!

We buy our hot water heaters locally....check Ayala in Sta.Rosalia or the hardware store beside the bank there too. We love our small one that heats
up pretty much as you use it and takes less power.

The hot water heaters at Home Depot and definitely not recommended by the local maintenance men and they are higher priced.

Everything is higher priced. It's no longer a secret.
The maintenance men probably don't like HDs water heaters 'cause they're GE and don't break down as often as the Mex-Made "Agua Caliente A Veces"
brand.

Wrong answer Dennis. The name does not carry the GE quality.
My local water heaters have been lasting in excess of 15 years.

You can find them in Loreto. I priced one just a few weeks ago, and while I can't remember the exact quote ( I'm in Sacramento ), it was reasonable.
Maybe $50.00 more then lugging one from up north.

You are probably on city water which is much cleaner than the Pila water we get here. I flush mine occasionally to get rid of the built-up mineral
deposits. Calcium comes out looking like rock salt.
Anyway, I don't care. Mine works fine and if it explodes today, I'll have a new one hooked up by sundown. It's not going to ruin my day.

All I know from my neighbor's grief with tankless heaters is, the more simple the machine, the longer they last. Mexico makes a simple unit and I know
people from the states that come down here to buy them because they arn't overloaded with USA restrictions in manufacturing.
My neighbor has a Bosch purchased in the states and if it isn't installed with proper ventilation, proper this and that, it just quits working.
Really tempermental.

The ones that they are selling at Costco are simpler than the ones they sell in the states. My neighbors just installed one and they love it. It has
electric ignition so there is no pilot light and it puts out way hotter water than the Kruger that it replaced.

We bought our last Water Heater at the Home Depot in Ensenada. Its working fine and its been a year. You will go through more water heaters in
Mexico. They said that this one is designed to take the water. So far - so good

We have a Paloma tankless water heater that we have been using for almost 20 years and it still works.
