Selecting a New Water Heater
Replacing your water heater is a big investment, and you need to be sure you select the right system for your home and budget. But with so many options to choose from, how do you know what’s best for you?
There are four kinds of water heaters that are most common in the Gaithersburg area, and they all range in replacement costs and energy efficiency:
1. Conventional water heaters
Conventional water heaters are the most popular type, and they operate by storing hot water in a tank and releasing it as needed. These often have the lowest upfront costs but aren’t as energy-efficient as other types.
2. Demand or tankless water heaters
Demand water heaters (also called tankless water heaters) heat water directly as it passes through a heating element, which eliminates the heat loss usually experienced with storage tanks. They typically have much lower operating costs than conventional water heaters.
3. Heat pump water heaters
Heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat that has already been generated from one place to another. This makes them highly efficient, so while they have higher initial costs than conventional water heaters, this is offset by their very low operating costs.
4. Indirect water heaters
Indirect water heaters divert water from your boiler to a heat exchanger and then into your faucets. Even though they require a storage tank, they’re the most efficient type of water heater since the stored energy allows the furnace to turn off and on less often.
