What Should You Look For In A Hot Water Tank?
Things aren’t the way they used to be. Years ago, appliances, such as hot water tanks used to last over 20 years. You used to buy a home, and forget about the hot water tank. Not anymore.
New hot water tanks are ENERGY STAR efficient but they never last as long as they used to years ago. There are also so many hot water tank options to choose from. Let us help you choose your hot water tank or tankless water heater.
Electric Hot Water Tanks
Electric hot water tanks use electricity to power and heat the water. It heats one or two elements within the tank to provide you with hot water for your showers, bathroom, kitchen, and other fixtures. An electric hot water tank does not require any type of venting, however, it does require a constant and dedicated power source.
One thing to remember is never to turn on the power to your hot water tank before the tank is full as the elements will burn out. On average, electric hot water tanks are often less efficient than a gas hot water tank. If you really want a gas hot water tank, and currently have an electric tank, consider a tankless water heater.
Gas Hot Water Tanks
Gas Hot Water Tanks run on natural gas to heat up the water inside of your tank which is then delivered throughout your home or business. With a gas water tank, it needs to be vented properly to prevent gas fumes within your home or business.
Some hot water tanks are also eligible for the Fortis Rebate Program. We also run promotions from time to time to help you with the costs of installing a hot water tank. Before your repair, install, or replace a hot water tank, we’ll find you the best deal for your home, family, or business.
