Your Water Heater Options

Water heaters are essential for modern, everyday life. When you purchase a new home or have a house built, you have to take into consideration the type and size of water heater that will do the job of providing your home with the amount of hot water you need each day.

This takes skilled plumbers to handle, such as the team at Crown Heating, Cooling & Plumbing. You’re in good hands with us! We’ll help you make an educated decision about which type of water heater may be best for your home. In the meantime, we’ve covered the basics of each type below:

  • Tank Water Heaters: This is the conventional hot water heater you see in most homes. It’s also called a storage tank water heater. Tank water heaters are dependable, and long lasting as long as they’re well-maintained.
  • Tankless Water Heaters: Tank water heaters are a great choice for many homes, but for larger households you may be able to save energy by going with the "on demand" tankless option. Contact us today to learn more!
  • Heat Pump Water Heaters: Instead of using a heat exchanger to generate heat, heat pump water heaters use thermal energy from the air to transfer heat. They’re becoming quite popular in homes throughout the country due to their high level of efficiency.

Gas vs. Electric Water Heaters

Aside from the overall makeup of the water heater, another big difference between your options is whether the water heater runs on gas, or electricity. When making the decision between the two, you might choose to go with a gas water heater since it will cost you less to run each month.

However, there are also reasons to go with an electric water heater—particularly if you choose to go solar, or even if you choose to have a heat pump water heater installed. Some homeowners also choose electric due to safety. Gas powered appliances are not inherently dangerous, so long as they are well cared for. But going electric eliminates the risk altogether, making it an optimal choice for some individuals.
