Knowing Your Options
There are a few types of water heaters that you can choose from on the market. The main three we provide at our company are:
Tank Water Heaters
Tank water heaters are the most common type of water heater on the market. If you’re thinking of a “water heater” in your mind it’s more than likely that you’re envisioning this type of system. Tank water heaters are also known as “storage” water heaters because they store a large amount of water in a tank and keep it at a steady temperature so that it’s always ready for usage.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters are also known as “demand” or “instantaneous water heaters” because unlike storage type water heaters, these types of systems only provide hot water when it’s necessary. They create hot water directly as it moves through your home. Tankless water heaters are an efficient option because they eliminate the standby loss of tank water heaters.
Heat Pump Water Heaters
A heat pump water heater uses heat pump technology is to move heat from the outside of your water heater tank to the inside. This is another great option if you’re concerned about energy efficiency because the process of moving the heat is much less taxing than generating heat in the way that standard water heaters do.
Understanding Your Needs
The next step in upgrading your water heater is understanding your needs. What type of water heater you need is affected by the number of people in your home, your preferences, and how much water you use.
