Choosing the Right Water Heater

High Efficiency Water Heaters

Choosing a water heater is an important decision for your Hudson Valley home. In terms of function and comfort, your water heater is responsible for a lot. Consider all the things you use warm or hot water for—bathing, washing hands, cleaning clothes, cleaning dishes, etc. And all that water adds up. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, roughly 20% of the average home’s energy costs go towards heating water.

That’s why it’s important not to take your water heater for granted. It’s an important piece of equipment in your home that plays a vital role. That’s also why having as efficient a water heater as possible is important. The more efficient the water heater, the less it costs to operate and the lower your energy costs will be.

An Intro to Water Heaters

How a water heater works depends on what kind of water heater it is. Water heaters fall into a few general categories:

• Conventional or Storage Water Heaters have a tank where water is heated using oil or propane and stored until it’s used. If the temperature of the water in the tank falls below a predetermined temperature before it can be used, it must be heated again. Tank heaters offer value and come in a range of tank capacities.
• Propane Tankless Water Heaters heat water on demand to provide a high volume of hot water with compact and highly innovative technology. They’re highly efficient and convenient—providing hot water on demand with none of the standby energy losses that occur with a storage tank system. They can last 20 years or more (twice as long as a typical tank water heater).
• Indirect-Fired Water Heaters use your home’s heating system to heat your water.
• Direct-Fired Water Heaters are a type of conventional or storage water heater in which a fuel like heating oil or propane gets burned in a combustion chamber under the tank. The heated flue gases then heat the water in the tank. The tank is equipped with insulated walls to help retain the heat. The water heater turns on automatically from time to time in order to keep the water in the tank at a predetermined temperature.
