What Types of Water Heaters We Install?

In Sacramento, as in many other places, various types of water heaters are commonly used to provide hot water for residential and commercial purposes. Here are some common types of water heaters available for installation:

 

Tank Water Heaters:

Conventional Tank Water Heaters: These are the most common type, storing and heating a large amount of water in a tank. They are available in gas and electric models.

 

Tankless Water Heaters:

Also known as on-demand water heaters, these units heat water only when needed. They are energy-efficient and take up less space compared to tank heaters.

 

Gas Water Heaters:

Natural Gas Water Heaters: These water heaters use natural gas as a fuel source for heating water. They are commonly found in homes with a natural gas supply.

 

Propane Water Heaters:

Similar to natural gas water heaters, they use propane as the fuel source. They are suitable for homes without access to natural gas.

 

Electric Water Heaters:

Conventional Electric Water Heaters: These units use electric heating elements to heat water stored in a tank.

Tankless Electric Water Heaters: Like their gas counterparts, these heat water on demand without the need for a storage tank.

 

Heat Pump Water Heaters:

These water heaters use electricity to move heat from the air or ground to heat the water. They are energy-efficient but may not be suitable for extremely cold climates.

 

Solar Water Heaters:

Solar water heaters use energy from the sun to heat water. They typically consist of solar collectors and a system to transfer the heat to the water.

 

Hybrid Water Heaters:

Combining elements of both tankless and heat pump systems, hybrid water heaters offer energy efficiency and the convenience of on-demand hot water.

 

Point-of-Use Water Heaters:

These small, compact units are designed to provide hot water directly at the point of use, such as under a sink or near a shower.
