Propane vs. Electric Water Heaters
Hot trends in water heaters can help you save
Many homeowners are surprised to learn that choosing the right water heater can help cut your energy expenses significantly. That’s because water heating makes up about 20% of your home’s energy costs! An energy-efficient water heater can make a substantial difference in the amount of energy your household uses.
Plus, when it comes to energy efficiency, propane leaves electricity in the dust! Read on to learn about how energy-efficient propane water heaters can help you save over electric models.
Go tankless? Only if you like saving money!
If you aren’t familiar with tankless water heaters, read on to learn about some of the benefits. A tankless water heater can help you save up to 40% on your water heating expenses. That’s because with a tankless appliance, there is no need to keep a tank of water at a certain level of warmth, waiting to be used. Tankless water heaters can last about twice as long as conventional tank water heaters, giving you an even better return on your investment.
Benefits of going tankless
Tankless water heaters offer a longer-than-average life expectancy when they are maintained properly. They also take up a smaller physical footprint, helping you save space in your basement or wherever your tank is typically stored. Plus, there’s no need to change out existing water piping when going tankless, so it’s a rather simple swap-out.
Conventional tank propane water heaters beat electric, too
Conventional tank propane water heaters heat more water faster than their electric counterparts for about 30% less cost. Propane tank water heaters cost on average between 40% and 60% less to operate than comparable electric water heaters.
When you upgrade to a propane tankless water heater, your water heating costs can be reduced by 40% or more compared with an electric water heater. Not only do you save big money, but you also don’t give up any comfort because a propane tankless water heater gives you endless hot water, as long as you need it!
