With the different kinds of water heaters being advertised these days, each claiming to be cost-efficient, trouble-free and easy to maintain, it’s no wonder that most consumers are at a lost and can’t decide which type or brand to choose. Unless one gets a hands-on experience using a particular type and discovering their unique features, then we can understand why decision-making is not so easy. However, there’s a tendency to favor tank heaters or storage water heaters as most individual consumers as well as corporations opt to have them installed in their homes of offices.
One of the most beneficial advantages of storage water heaters is they can store a big amount of heated water at any time. They may vary in size from about 20 gallons to as large as 100 gallons. What's the reason for the size difference? The answer is quite simple. The size of the tank is directly related to the amount of water that is available in a given period of time.
What unit size is best for you? The answer depends on a few different factors. The number of bathrooms and other appliances that use water is the first consideration. The second is the size of the bathroom. Does your bathroom include a large tub and or shower? Water is something most people haven’t learned to save, so a larger tank is a safe choice for Tekmar 483. Finally, the size needed will often depend on the fuel source. Gas heaters heat water faster than electricity water heaters so they don’t need larger tanks to ensure that the heated water flow runs short.
Another advantage of tank water heaters is they relatively require energy at a lower rate. Because tank water heaters heat the water gradually and store it for a longer period of time, it uses less amount of energy. This is not so with tankless water heaters which heat water in a shorter while and, therefore, require more amount of energy. While the water is being stored, the temperature is also being monitored by the thermostat. If the water is held in the tank for an extended period of time, the water is then re-heated to the correct temperature, ensuring the most reliable temperature control.
The temperature of the heated water kept in a tank remains constant longer than that of a tankless water heater like the Electro EB-MO-15. If you’re taking a shower, this is one thing you would relish – a constant, luxurious supply of hot water. In a tank heater the hot water output is a constant temperature with no cold spots because the water is constantly monitored to maintain a continuous temperature.
Storage water heaters may qualify for an energy rebate. To see if you qualify, contact your energy provider.
