Water heaters in Hollywood homes
Hollywood has a large stock of older single-family homes east of I-95 plus oceanfront condos along Hollywood Beach and the Broadwalk. Many homes are all-electric.
In older Hollywood homes, water heaters are often in tight closets or garages that were built for smaller tanks, so the replacement size and drain pan clearance are worth checking up front.
