80% of homes here heat with electricity (80%, above the Texas figure of 61%), and scale burns out electric water heater elements early.
32% of homes were built in 2000 or later, and many newer homes in hard-water areas have a pre-plumbed softener loop that makes installation simpler. Your water utility's annual report gives the exact hardness.
