You’re in Hot Water with Propane. That’s a Good
Thing.
Propane
gives you more hot water at a more affordable price.
And a gas fired home water heating system is less
expensive and cleaner to operate and maintain than
either electric or oil-fired hot water heaters.
That’s why millions of American homes use propane to
heat water for their showers, washing machines, and
dishwashers.

Who
Should Consider a Tankless Water Heater?
Anyone
who wants an endless supply of hot water, and anyone
who wants to reduce their impact on the environment
would benefit from learning more about propane
tankless water heaters.
Whether
replacing an old tank-style electric or propane
water heater in an existing home or designing and
building a new home, more and more homeowners and
builders are warming up to the benefits of going
tankless with propane.

Why Propane Tankless
vs. Electric?
Here’s how a propane
tankless water heater can save you money
compared to tank-style storage water
heaters or electric tankless heaters.

Propane tankless
water heaters are so efficient,
they’re Energy Star qualified
(electric tankless water heaters are
not).
Propane tankless
water heaters reduce carbon
emissions by 63 percent compared to
electric tankless water heaters.
Propane tankless
water heaters prevent the emission
of 35,000 lbs. of greenhouse gases
over 10 years compared with a
standard electric-powered water
heater.
Switching from an
electric water heater to a propane
tankless system has nearly the same
greenhouse-gas emission impact as
does switching from a typical
mid-sized sedan to a Toyota Prius
(in the U.S.).
Tankless water
heaters reduce standby energy loss
by up to 20 percent compared to
storage water heaters, and they cost
approximately 60 percent less to
operate.
Most tankless water
heaters can provide eight gallons
per minute of hot water.
Because tankless
models are less subject to
corrosion, the expected life span of
a tankless water heater is 20 years,
twice as long as most storage water
heaters.
Their small size
saves space and provides limitless
installation options, either inside
or outside the home.
How
Tankless Hot Water Heaters Works
Tankless
water heaters only heat water when it’s needed. When
a water tap is opened, the tankless model senses the
demand for hot water and starts the heating process.
The water flows through a heat exchanger and is
heated to the designated temperature set by the
user. When the water tap is closed, the heater
automatically shuts off until hot water is demanded
again.
Propane vs. Fuel
Oil
Fuel oil
is adequate for supplying heat, but, unlike propane,
it cannot power certain appliances such as ranges or
dryers. Fuel oil furnaces and water heaters are not
as efficient as propane models. In many
instances, hot water is derived from a fuel oil
fired furnace, requiring the furnace to run and
wasting even more energy. Their burner
nozzles get clogged very easily and need frequent
maintenance. While propane is clean burning,
fuel oil produces soot and other contaminants.
