Choosing a Water Heater for Your Home

In Maryland and Delaware, water heating accounts for 18 percent of residential energy use. Reducing your water consumption and lowering the temperature setting can save energy, but so can a new water heater. Today’s Energy Star models are approximately 10 percent more efficient, which can save you several hundred dollars over the unit’s lifespan. Here are a few things to consider.

  • Size: Storage tanks typically hold 20 to 100 gallons. Compact units are suitable for smaller households, and 50-gallon models are recommended for most families.
  • Rating: The first-hour capacity determines the recovery rate and gives you a good idea of how much hot water you can use at once.
  • Fuel: Residential water heaters use natural gas, electricity or propane. While electric is convenient, gas is more efficient.

Water Heater Installation and Replacement Options

The average lifespan of a water heater is around 12 years. Depending on your needs, you may be interested in an identical model for faster installation or a larger unit to accommodate your family’s growing demands. Once you’ve selected a replacement, we’ll drain the old tank for off-site recycling, prepare the plumbing lines and modify the gas pipes or exhaust vents if needed. We install gas and electric water heaters, as well as energy-efficient alternatives.

  • Electric: Electric water heaters are convenient, readily available and easy to install. Plus, the heating element is replaceable.
  • Gas: Natural gas and propane models heat water twice as quickly, so you can often select a slightly smaller unit.
  • Alternatives: Heat pump water heaters extract energy from the air, which makes them two to four times more efficient.
