    Who doesn’t look forward to a nice, warm shower after a hard day at work? Well, now picture looking forward to that shower only to get back home and feel an unpleasant icy blast of cold water. 

    Sounds terrifying, doesn’t it?

    That’s precisely why you need to invest in a good water heater. 

    This article walks you through the various choices you’ve got, giving you some insight into the considerations of choosing one for your home, as well. 

    Let’s dive right in!

    Types of Water Heaters

    Each type of water heater comes with its own pros and cons. Here we outline three water heaters and what they bring to the table. 

    Storage Tank Water Heater

    This is perhaps, the most common type of water heater. It could use either electricity or gas to facilitate the heating. The entire contents of the tank are warmed at the same time, usually at a preset temperature. 

    One drawback here is that when the water from the tank runs out, you will have to wait until the next batch is heated to have a fresh supply of hot water again. 

    Tankless Water Heater

    Unlike storage tank water heaters, tankless alternatives offer hot water on demand. Here, water runs through a pipe where it is quickly heated either through a gas boiler or an electric coil. 

    The drawback here is that the water flows slower than it would with the storage tank counterpart. You can look here to learn more about the differences between these two types of water heaters. 

    Heat Pump Water Heater

    Heat pump water heaters use the heat present in the air to heat your water. It compresses the air around it to release cool air while using the heat to warm water. 

    This is a good option for those living in warmer climates. 

    Considerations While Choosing a Water Heater

    Not sure which option is right for your home? Here are a few questions to ask yourself before buying a water heater. 

    1. What is your budget?
    2. Would you prefer a gas-operated water heater or an electric one?
    3. Do you have room for the ventilation required to use a gas water heater?
    4. How much space do you have available for a water heater?
    5. Do you prefer an on-demand water supply?
    6. What kind of climate do you live in?

    After you have the answers to these questions, be sure to set up a consultation with a qualified HVAC professional. 

    The Right Heater Goes a Long Way

    Now you’re fully informed on the various types of water heaters available on the market, as well as the considerations of buying one. Save yourself the disappointment of coming home to icy water and use this information to invest in the right water heater today!
