Choosing among the many choices of water heaters may have a considerable impact on your energy bills. According to the Department of Energy, water heaters are usually the second-largest home expense in the Fort Worth, TX area alone. While you have many water-heating choices, here are some of the added benefits of going with electrical-powered water heaters.
Perhaps one of the most common benefits of using electric water heaters is the lower cost of purchase. Compared to other electric water heaters, gas-powered water heaters are often significantly more costly, with some even as much as triple the price of an electric-powered unit. Installation of these types of water heaters may also be more expensive. Fueled-heaters may cost a few hundred dollars more per unit to install compared to an electric alternative.
Electric water heaters have a significant inherent advantage over gas in that they are most commonly safer to install and use. Gas-powered appliances may carry a great risk for leaks thereby bringing in more danger than good to your residential home. This danger requires extra precautions to be taken when installing these systems, which can cost more time and money. Electric water heaters do not require the same type of safety measures, so all those extra costs and hassles may potentially be avoided.
Heat tanks are a type of water heating unit which breaks all of the “rules” of standard water heating models. Heat Pump water heaters effectively transfer heat instead of generating it and may save significant energy over time.
If there is one great benefit that should make electric water heaters stand out for most consumers, it is that they generally last longer than gas-powered water heaters. Gas-powered models require a pilot light to operate, which may significantly deteriorate over time demanding additional maintenance when compared to electric water heaters.
