Gas water heaters closely resemble electric water heaters, but do not contain electric heating elements. Instead, these water heaters contain a gas burner at the bottom, with a chimney running up through the middle of the tank.
Electric water heaters heat water with two electric heating elements. A thermostat monitors water temperature. If the temperature drops below a certain point, a circuits in the elements are completed, generating heat.
Propane-fueled water heaters offer many advantages. Operating costs are typically lower than other types of water heaters. The recovery rates are also quicker. Smaller storage space requirements free up much needed space.
Tankless water heaters are also known as combi boilers, instantaneous, inline, flash, on-demand or instant-on water heaters. This type of heater is rapidly gaining in popularity.
Engineered to provide efficiency, safety, and flexibility, water heaters with power vents horizontally vent exhaust gases through the use of a fan or blower.
Indirect water heaters provide homeowners a highly efficient and affordable source of hot water that surpasses the convenience of a tankless water heater.
