Gas Hot Water Heaters: Gas water heaters tend to cost slightly more than electric water heaters, though they do provide savings in the long run. These are the most popular type of water heater and the kind you’ll find in most homes. The energy savings can be substantial over time, with gas water heaters using less energy than electric heaters.
Electric Hot Water Heaters: As mentioned above, electric hot water heaters have a lower initial cost, though they cost slightly more to operate over their lifespan. They are also easier to install since no piping or venting is required. They are also generally safer since there is no potential for a gas or fluid leak.
Tankless Hot Water Heaters: Tankless water heaters operate slightly differently than other types. Rather than keeping the water hot when needed, a tankless water heater provides it as required, thanks to a set of heating coils in the unit. While more efficient than its counterparts, there is a limit to how much hot water is available. Because of this, tankless water heaters are best suited to homes with minimal hot water needs.
Potential Problems With Water Heaters
Like many plumbing problems, you may not even think about your water heater until there’s an issue. Often, problems that arise become worse with time, so it’s important to diagnose anything you think may be causing trouble. Hard water can be particularly rough on a water heater’s life since it causes sediment to build up over time and reduce its efficiency.
Since water heaters contribute to about 20 percent of a home’s total energy usage, keeping them running efficiently and correctly can be an important cost-saving measure. Things that can indicate a problem with a hot water heater are a sour smell, discolored water, and loud plumbing knocks.
Leaks are another major concern for water heaters since they can damage floors, walls, and even a home’s foundation. If you suspect you have a leak or a water heater functioning at less than full capacity, don’t hesitate to call a professional. It’ll likely save you time and money in the long run.
