Is it Time to Replace Your Hot Water Heater?
Part 3 of 3

Conventional gas water heaters: After your heating and air conditioning system, not much else in your home consumes more energy than your water heater. And unlike your heating & air conditioning systems which only run seasonally, your water heater needs to work flawlessly every single day of the year.

We have decades of experience with high-efficiency tank hot water heater technology, and can help you decide if a high-efficiency tank or a heat pump water heater would be best for your application.

There are 2 different kinds of tank water heaters: Conventional gas water heaters, and Heat Pump water heaters. (See additional post regarding "Heat Pump Water Heating". Heat pump water heaters (HPWH) can be two to three times more energy efficient.)

Conventional Water Heating: Conventional storage water heater fuel sources include natural gas, propane, fuel oil, and electricity. All conventional water heaters store hot water 24 hours per day in a storage tank, typically ranging in volume from 20 to 120 gallons. To minimize stand-by losses you should consider water heaters that offer higher levels of tank insulations.

Often the lowest-priced storage water heater may be the most expensive to operate and maintain over its lifetime. We carry a wide variety of gas tank water heaters. They are often the lowest installed cost choice for replacing an existing system.
