Is your current water heater powered by electricity? If so, this is a great opportunity to switch to a propane model that will give you more efficient comfort and money savings.
Propane water heaters cost $25 less, on average, to run than electric water heaters. That means a propane water heater can save you up to $4,000 over the typical 10-year lifespan of a tank-style water heater from a comparable electric model.
In terms of energy efficiency, a propane water heater’s recovery time is half of an electric water heater. This means your wait between showers for hot water will be significantly reduced.
There is more than one kind of propane water heater.
There are several advantages to purchasing a conventional water heater with a tank. When it comes to heating water, a 40-gallon propane water heater provides the same amount of hot water as a 50-gallon electric model but is much faster. It’s also less expensive to purchase, install, maintain, and repair.
On-demand propane tankless heaters can provide an unlimited amount of hot water on demand. Furthermore, because it just heats water when you require it, your energy bills will be reduced. In some cases by 40% or more! When you consider that water heating accounts for roughly 20% of your home’s energy use, it is a significant amount of money saved.
They also last at least twice as long as conventional types, giving you an even better return on your investment.
When comparing models, look for their Energy Factor (EF) rating; this indicates energy efficiency based on how much hot water is generated per unit of fuel burned over a typical day. The higher the EF, the more efficient the water heater is.
Here is what goes into the EF rating:
