Types of Hot Water Heaters to Consider
Most people have a standard idea of what a water heater looks like, which is a large storage tank connected to a heating system. However, there’s a greater variety of water heaters available today than ever before. When you’re interested in a water heater installation or water heater replacement, contact us and we’ll help you navigate your options:
Tank water heater:
This is the most popular type of water heater, a system that stores water in a large tank and keeps it at a constant temperature so it’s always ready for use. You can have a gas water heater or an electrical water heater model.
Tankless water heater:
The most popular alternative to the standard storage tank water heater is a system that uses no storage tank at all. A tankless water heater heats up water as it is needed, which can help lower energy bills. It also means a house will never run out of hot water! Like tank water heaters, tankless systems can be both electric or gas water heaters.
Heat pump water heater:
Here’s a variant on the electric water heater that can help a home reduce its heating costs. A heat pump water heater draws thermal energy from the air and then applies it to the water in the tank, rather than creating the energy through electrical resistance.
Indirect water heater:
Why not have the heating system already in your house—a boiler or a furnace—provide the heat to warm up the water in your water heater? That’s what an indirect water heater does, and it’s one of the most cost–effective ways to provide heated water to a house.
