Tank Hot Water Heaters<\/h2>\n

The simplest type of hot water heater is tank system. Tank based water heating involves a single tank, operated with gas, oil, or electric heat. These tanks must be carefully selected based on efficiency and the individual home\u2019s hot water needs. The newest tank models will last for many years and require only a minimal amount of maintenance, some of which can even be done by homeowners themselves.<\/p>\n

To select a good tank water heater, you must first measure the total hot water needs of your home. This requires careful estimation of how much water you need in any one hour. A professional can help make these measurements.<\/p>\n

Tankless Hot Water Heaters<\/h2>\n

Tankless water heaters are relatively popular right now because they allow you to heat only the water you need. They apply heat directly to the water supply, turning on only when needed. When someone turns on a hot water tap somewhere, the system will turn on and heat water for as long as the tap is active.<\/p>\n

While a tankless hot water system costs more to install, it saves a lot of money on monthly energy bills over the long run and doesn\u2019t require combustible fuel to operate. It\u2019s a powerful solution for anyone that wants to reduce their carbon footprint and save money by eliminating the need to pay for energy that keeps water hot inside a tank, whether it\u2019s being used or not.<\/p>\n

Solar Hot Water Heaters<\/h2>\n

The third option on the market and one that is growing in popularity is solar hot water. Solar water heaters require a solar heat collector on your roof. That heat collector gathers energy from the sun and passes it to water or coolant in pipes on the roof. If you choose a direct heating system, water is circulated to the roof to gather heat and then carried to your fixtures for use. An indirect system uses coolant like antifreeze to carry heat from the solar collector to a heat exchanger in a tank. In the heat exchanger, the coolant passes the heat it gathered to your water supply.<\/p>\n

The best thing about solar water heaters is that they can be used in conjunction with solar air conditioners to provide cooling to your home in the summer. These systems are slightly more expensive, but for places with high cooling costs, the added benefit of solar power for both hot water and cooling can save you quite a bit of money over time.<\/p>\n
