Choosing A Right Hot Water Heater

Are you planning on replacing your rusty old gas-powered tank water heater with a

new tankless water heater? Then you had better know how to choose the right gas water heater for your home.

First of all, why would you want to replace the old water heater with an expensive tankless model? There are many reasons, but the most important reason is the huge energy-savings. With the old tank water heaters, the gas burners are constantly turned on because they need to keep the water in the tank hot, wasting most energy even when you do not need hot water. With tankless heaters, the burners only turn on when the hot water is needed, saving up to 50% energy.

Now here are the things that you need to take into consideration when buying a tankless gas water heater:

Installation: Some companies sell the hot water heater with their service. Usually, it costs less than you buy the hot water heater and the installation service seperately. Since tankless water heaters are relatively new, it would be best for you to trust someone from the company who knows their product inside-out. Contractors who do not have much installation experience may install the hot water heater incorrectly and lead to a lot of problems.

Location and Climate: Where you live will be a big factor in choosing the right tankless gas water heater. Because the colder the climate, the water that runs in the pipes will obviously be colder as well. That is why you need to choose the heater that can heat up the water running through the pipes fast enough to give you a steady flow of hot water.

Fuel Type: There are two types of fuel that you can choose from, propane and natural gas. Make sure that the water heater you choose is compatible with the fuel line in your home. And because of the exhaust produced by the gas water heater, you will also need to have a good venting system, so make sure that the heater you choose comes with its own ventilation kit. Otherwise, you may have difficulty to find compatible venting system. You can not use the old vent system because it is unlikely that it will be compatible with the new tankless system.

Remember that tankless heaters are relatively expensive, and you surely do not want to waste thousands of dollars on a hot water heater that is not even suitable for your needs. So keep the above-mentioned points in your mind, this way, you will know that you are making the most out of your money.
