Buying a Water Heater Information




Buying a water heater often happens very quickly because homeowners have recently had their water heater break down and quickly want a replacement. However, they fail to invest the time in making sure they have purchased the most cost and energy efficient or the right unit for their specific needs. It only takes a small amount of time to research water heaters which will benefit you in the long run. There are a variety of water heaters that are now available which include demand, heat pump, conventional storage, indirect, solar and heat pump.
Storage water heaters have a range of fuel options like natural gas, propane, oil or electricity. Storage water heaters are the most popular water heater because they can hold plenty of water and operate by releasing hot water when a tap is turned on. Once that hot water is released, regular water enters the storage water heater to ensure it is always full. The drawback of a storage water heater is that it can impact your energy bill because of the standby heat loss which means energy is being wasted even when you haven’t got a hot water tap on.
An alternative to the storage water heater is the demand water heater which doesn’t have standby heat loss which can reduce your energy consumption by 20% to 30%. A demand water heater works by having cold water travel through a pipe into the heater which then heats the water. A difference between the demand water heater and the storage water heater is that the demand doesn’t have a storage system and only heats water when you need it.
Heat pump water heaters are another popular water heater that don’t generate heat directly but instead move heat from one location to another. Heat pump water heaters work like refrigerators except in reverse.
If you are unsure which water heater is best suited to your property, you can consult Plumbers Vauxhall since we can use our experience to help you make an efficient decision.
