Water Heater Repair, Replacement, & Installation
To maintain a sufficient hot water supply and cut energy costs, Just Plumbing recommends evaluating your hot water heating system. There are several options available, each with its own benefits. Electric water heaters are the least expensive but are often considered less efficient than gas or tankless models; however, choosing one with a higher energy factor can offset the initial cost. Gas water heaters, while more expensive upfront, can be more economical in the long run, costing about half as much to operate compared to electric models due to lower national-average fuel costs.
Tankless water heaters are compact units that heat water on demand, eliminating the risk of tank failure and energy loss from constant reheating. Hybrid water heaters combine an electric storage heater with a heat pump that extracts heat from the air, significantly reducing energy usage. Hybrids can use up to 62 percent less energy than standard water heaters, offering an average annual savings of about $320. By understanding these options, you can make an informed decision that balances cost, efficiency, and long-term savings.
Electric Water Heaters
Electric water heaters are the least expensive style of water heaters and they carry a stigma of being less efficient than gas or tankless; however, purchasing a model with a higher energy factor may make up for the higher sticker price.
Gas Water Heaters
Gas models cost more than electrics. But on the basis of national-average fuel costs, a gas water heater will cost you about half as much to run as a comparable electric model.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters are suitcase-sized units that heat water only when needed by using an electric coil or natural gas to heat water passing through a heat exchanger inside. They eliminate the risk of tank failure and the energy lost by constantly reheating water.
Hybrid Water Heaters
Hybrid water heaters have an electric storage heater paired with a heat pump that extracts heat from the air and uses it to help heat the water. Hybrids can use up to 62 percent less energy than a standard water heater, for an average annual savings of about $320.
