What is a Heat Pump Water Heater?

A heat pump water heater is an electric water heater that heats water by moving heat from the surrounding air into the tank, rather than creating heat directly with electric resistance elements. Because it moves heat instead of generating all of it, it can use much less electricity than a standard electric water heater often roughly 2–4 times more efficient. The tradeoffs are that it usually costs more upfront, needs enough surrounding air space, makes some fan compressor noise, and dehumidifies the room it sits in. Heat Pump Water Heater tends to work especially well in places like basements, garages, or utility rooms. Check availble rebates for heat pump installations.

What is a Tankless Water Heater?

A tankless water heater heats water only when you turn on a hot-water faucet. There is no big water tank storing gallons of hot water. Once you turn on the hot water, cold water flows through the unit a gas burner or electric heating element heats it very quickly you get hot water out of the faucet or shower. So compared with a normal tank heater: Tankless heater, heats water on demand as it passes through. The main benefit is that you don’t waste as much energy keeping stored water hot, and you can get a long continuous supply of hot water. The catch is that it can only heat so many gallons per minute at once, so proper unit & sizing for your household matters.

What is a Gas Hot Water Heater?

A gas water heater uses a gas to heat your water. In a regular tank gas water heater: Cold water enters the tank and gas burner underneath lights the flame to heat the tank and the water inside. It usually burns natural gas or propane. If the tank is completely cold and you want to heat the water from about 60°F to 120°F, a typical residential gas water heater might take roughly: 50 gallons: about 50–70 minutes | 60 gallons: about 60–80 minutes | 80 gallons: about 75–110 minutes. The exact time depends heavily on how powerful the gas burner is. A 50-gallon heater with a 40,000 BTU burner will heat more slowly than one with a 60,000 BTU burner.
