57% of homes here heat with gas (57%, close to the Nevada figure of 58%), and scale settles as sediment in gas tanks, which then rumble and wear out early.
39% 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.
