If your current water heater is powered by electricity, replacing it offers you the perfect opportunity to convert to a propane water heater!
What makes propane such a great alternative to electricity when it comes to running your water heater? Here are just some of the ways propane is so much better than electricity.
Propane water heaters cost about $25 less per month to operate than electric water heaters. Over time, propane cuts the operating costs for your water heating by a third!
Thanks to better energy efficiency, you can save up to $4,000 over the average 10-year lifespan of a conventional tank-style water heater by using propane instead of electricity.
The efficiency of propane is also measured in time. A propane water heater’s recovery rate is twice as fast as a comparable electric water heater. You’ll use less energy to get your water hot, and save time!
All these energy savings can make a big difference as water heating accounts for 20% of your home’s energy usage.
The two main choices in propane water heaters are the conventional storage water heaters, which have a tank, and tankless water heaters. Each have advantages, and we’ll help you choose the one that works for you.
Tank-style water heaters are less expensive to buy and install. Because they are so simple in terms of their operation, maintenance and repair tend to be affordable.
We’ll work with you to make sure you have the right size tank for your home and your family’s hot water needs.
But tankless water heaters offer many advantages.
While tankless water heaters do cost more upfront to purchase and install, they can last twice as long (or even longer!) than conventional storage water heaters.
Tankless water heaters give you all the hot water you want, right when you want it. No more waiting between showers! And you can take a shower at the same time the dishwasher is running with no worries.
A tankless water heater can lower your water heating costs by 35% or more.
No tank means there is no tank that can fail and cause water damage inside your home.
