Water Heaters

3 sizes of Tank water Heater

 

Lowboy water heaters hold 30–50 gallons, stand 30–49 inches tall, and measure 20–26 inches in diameter. They fit under low ceilings or in crawlspaces.

Mid-size (or short/compact) models also hold 30–50 gallons but are 46–52 inches tall with an 18–22 inch diameter. They work well in closets or under counters.

Tall units range from 30–50 gallons, reach 50–76 inches in height, and have an 18–24 inch diameter. They suit standard basements or utility rooms for larger families.

Hybrid Heat Pump Water heaters

 

Hybrid heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) beat standard tank heaters in efficiency, cost, and comfort. Here's why in plain terms:

  1. Cut electric bills 50–70%They pull heat from surrounding air instead of generating it with resistance coils. A 50-gallon HPWH uses ~2,000 kWh/year vs. 4,500+ kWh for a standard electric tank—saving $300–$600/year at 15¢/kWh.
  2. Payback in 2–5 years Upfront cost: Federal tax credits ($600–$2,000) + utility rebates often drop net cost below a premium tank.
  3. Cool & dehumidify for freeIn basements/garages, the exhaust air acts like a mini dehumidifier (removes ~1–2 pints/hour). Saves AC load in summer.
  4. Same hot water, longer life50–80 gallon tanks deliver equal or more first-hour output. Expected lifespan: 13–15 years (vs. 10–12 for standard).
  5. Quieter & safer45–55 dB (like a fridge) and no gas vent/flame risks.

Electric Tankless Water Heater

 

Non-Condensing Gas Tankless (0.80–0.85 UEF): Single heat exchanger, 300–400°F exhaust, requires Category III stainless steel vent , 40–60K BTU/h recovery.  Best for outdoor (mild climates) or indoor with short vent runs; higher gas use, and no condensate.


Condensing Gas Tankless (0.90–0.98 UEF): Dual exchangers capture exhaust heat, 100–170°F exhaust, uses PVC/CPVC venting , 80–199K BTU/h. Needs neutralizer + drain for acidic condensate. Ideal indoor  or outdoor (colder regions); cuts bills 20–40%, qualifies for rebates.

Solar Water Heaters

Solar Service and Installation

 

Solar water heaters capture free sunlight to heat household water without gas or electric resistance. A solar collector (flat panel or evacuated tubes) on the roof absorbs solar radiation, heating a fluid (water or antifreeze). This hot fluid circulates—via passive thermosiphon (natural convection) or active pump—to a heat exchanger inside an insulated storage tank, transferring heat to potable water. The cooled fluid returns to the collector to repeat the cycle. Backup electric or gas elements kick in during cloudy days. Systems deliver 50–80% of annual hot water needs, cut bills $100–$400/year, and last 12+ years.
