If your water heater is fueled by electricity—and not propane—you may be running out of hot water on a regular basis. (Growing families often have this problem). That can be extremely frustrating—especially if it happens to you when you’re in the middle of taking a hot shower or washing a couple loads of clothes.
With that in mind, here are four reasons why a propane water heater is the best choice for you and your family
With a propane water heater, you most likely will never run out of hot water again, and you will take comfort in a hot water recovery rate that is easily twice that of a standard electric unit.
Propane hot water heaters have more accurate temperature controls and offer many more options in terms of size and where you can locate them in your home.
Propane is endorsed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an environmentally-friendly fuel. Choosing propane means you will be lowering greenhouse gas emissions and doing your part to save our planet.
When you consider that a propane water heater has a lower cost of maintenance and lasts years longer than its electric counterparts, propane always wins. And if you want an easy way to raise the value of your home, switch to a propane water heater! Tankless models, especially, are highly desirable to home buyers as it will improve your LEED and home energy rating (HERS) scores.
A propane tankless water heating system eliminates the standby energy losses that occur in storage-tank systems because this type of unit only heats water on demand. Here’s how it works.
When you turn on your hot water faucets or an appliance like a dishwasher, water is circulated through the tankless unit’s heat exchanger and delivered on-demand. Your water heating efficiency will improve up to 40% and you’ll have access to a virtually unlimited supply of hot water. You won’t have to worry anymore about your hot water tank draining and having to refill and reheat.
And while it’s true that a tankless propane water heater has a higher upfront cost than a traditional storage-tank water heater, you can save a lot of money on your water heating bills. Those savings will add up as the years go by.
With all of these great reasons to choose a propane water heater, the best choice should be clear. Whether you choose a storage tank water heater or a tankless water heater for your next propane water heater installation, you will find superior value and convenience that offers greater home comfort. You may even qualify for a water heater rebate that can help you save you even more!
