Heat pump water heaters, also known as hybrid water heaters, use electricity to move heat from the air to heat the water, rather than generating heat directly. This makes them significantly more energy-efficient than traditional electric water heaters. They work well in our mild climate where they can efficiently extract heat from the air in your basement. While the initial investment is higher, the energy savings over time can make them a cost-effective option for many homes.
A tankless water heater, often referred to as an on-demand water heater, heats water directly without the use of a storage tank. When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water travels through a pipe into the unit, where it is heated by either an electric element or a gas burner (usually gas). This ensures a constant supply of hot water,and offering some energy efficiency since it doesn't have to continuously heat and reheat water in a tank. Ideal for homes that prioritize energy savings and have a large or continuous need for hot water.
Electric tank water heaters store and heat water in an insulated tank using electrical heating elements. They are generally more energy-efficient than gas models and can be installed in a wider variety of locations due to their lack of need for venting. However, they may have slower recovery rates and can be more expensive to operate, depending on electricity rates. Electric tank heaters are a good choice for smaller households or where gas is not an option.
Gas tank water heaters use a gas burner located at the bottom of a storage tank to heat water. They typically have higher recovery rates than electric models, meaning they can heat a larger volume of water faster, making them great for larger households. The use of natural gas or propane can also be more cost-effective depending on local utility prices. They require venting to the outside to exhaust the fumes produced during the heating process.

Tank hot water heaters wear out after a decade or more of use, often because of calcium build-up on the heating mechanism, or simply due to failure of the elements. We can frequently fix this issue, though after 15 to 20 years, it may be time to consider a more efficient solution. Our team can help you decide.
We suggest keeping your hot water heater below 125-degrees, which is where water can scald skin.
