No matter where we live, hot water is a necessity.
100 years ago, hot water was made by a pot on a wood stove. Times have changed...
Today there are basically 3 categories of water heaters:
Natural Draft |
Power Vent |
|
1. Natural Draft Hot Water Tank
The simple design of the natural draft hot water tank makes this a popular choice for heating your water.
Relies on gravity to get the exhaust gas out of the home.
A basic burner at the bottom heats your water for reliable hot water when needed.
2. Power Vent Water Heater
The power vent has a fan on top that pushes the exhaust gas out of the home, typically through a PVC pipe out the side of the house. This makes it impossible for flue gases to backdraft into the house.
This option also does not require a chimney. Combined with a high efficient furnace, this means the chimney can be removed. This improves renovations, as there is more freedom to move floor plans as desired.
The water gets instantly heated as it passes through the water heater.
3. Tankless Water Heater
Tankless water heaters produce unlimited hot water when you need it!
The tankless system means you waste zero energy when there is not a hot water demand.
The on-demand system produces hot water only when you turn the hot water tap on.
This saves space compared to a hot water tank, and saves on utility bills each month.
Because the system does not have a tank, rust and corrosion is far less likely than traditional tanks.
