1) Conventional Tank:

Electrical: Consists of 2 elements, 2 thermostats (1 upper and 1 lower). Lower 50% of heater remains heated at all times. When demand for additional hot water is required, the upper element kicks in.
*It is estimated that 30% of your power bill is used to heat water in this manner.

2)Gas: Natural or propane gas tank type heaters keep the entire tank hot at all times.

4) Tankless (Gas):

Natural gas or propane unlike antiquated tank type water heaters that heat and reheat the same water 24 hours a day. Tankless water heater technology is more efficient. Only heating water when required. It also allows for continual use never running out.
