Water Heaters: Finding the Right Fit for Your Home
When it comes to home energy consumption, hot water plays a significant role, accounting for around 23% of the average household's energy use. Choosing the right water heater is not just about meeting the demands of your household; it's also about efficiency and energy usage. At Plumbing By Design, I offer expertise and guidance on the various types of water heaters available, ensuring you make the right choice.
Heat Pump
Consider the environment and your wallet with a heat pump water heater. This renewable energy option extracts heat from the surroundings – air, water, or the ground – to heat water efficiently. These systems use a reverse refrigeration process, reducing electricity consumption and potentially saving you money in the long run.
Continuous Gas
Flow System
A continuous gas flow system is the way to go for uninterrupted hot water. Using a gas burner heats water on demand, meaning you'll never run out of hot water as long as you have a gas supply.
Gas Storage
Gas storage heaters store hot water in a tank, using a gas burner for heating. Compared to electric storage systems, they offer faster heat recovery times, ensuring you have hot water when you need it.
Solar
Embrace renewable energy with solar-powered hot water systems. These systems use solar panels to absorb energy from the sun and heat water. While they're eco-friendly, they may require electricity or gas as backup on cloudy days.
Electric Storage
Like an electric kettle, electric storage systems heat water inside a tank and keep it hot and ready for use. They come in various sizes to meet your specific needs.
Electric
Continuous Flow
Instant hot water is at your fingertips with electric continuous flow systems. These units heat water instantly on demand, providing endless hot water without the need for a storage tank.
