A mobile home water heater ensures that the home has warm water to use for bathing, cleaning, and appliance use. Mobile home water heaters come in gas or electric styles. At American Supply, we carry a selection of electric water heaters and water heater repair parts. The heaters come in different sizes to efficiently heat the water for the size of your home. The size of the heater is measured by the number of gallons of water it can hold at a time.

Choosing the Right Water Heater & Parts
When purchasing a new water heater or parts for your home, our experts recommend:
- HUD Standards- It is important to follow the HUD standards and policies for your mobile home water heater. Gas and electric heaters have different standards, making it important to look over the requirements for your specific heater. This ensures that your home is HUD-compliant and avoids safety issues in the future.
- FHR- The FHR, also known as the first hour rating, determines how many gallons of hot water the water heater can provide within an hour. This is important to know as it indicates how well the heater is working and if it can handle the demand that is being asked of it. A good FHR prevents your home from running out of warm water, especially in situations like the middle of a shower. If you are running out of warm water, it is a sign that a repair is needed or that you need to upgrade your system entirely.
