Selecting a New Water Heater

When you need a new water heater, our Lindstrom’s expert plumbers help by performing a capacity test to determine the right size, identify a unit that meets or exceeds energy standards, and matches your budget. 

There are four main considerations to keep in mind:

  • Type: Tankless water heaters utilize burners to quickly heat water as it runs through a heat exchanger without the need for storage in a tank. Traditional tank water heaters store and heat water in an insulated tank.
  • Capacity: There is nothing worse than running out of hot water.  The most important capacity consideration is the “first-hour rating” (FHR), which is the measure of how much hot water the heater will deliver in an hour of high usage.
  • Efficiency: The higher the “energy factor” (EF) of a traditional tank storage water heater, the more efficient it is. Gas water heaters have an EF between 0.50 and 0.60, with some high-efficiency models around 0.80.
  • Cost: Often the least expensive water heaters are the most expensive to operate, so look for a high-efficiency unit. It may cost a little more initially but will result in reduced operating costs in the long run.

Traditional Tank Storage Water Heater Advantages

  • One-of-a-kind air/fuel shut-off device offers double protection.
  • Specially designed flame arrestor prevents ignition of vapors outside the combustion chamber.
  • Superior air filtration prevents the unit from getting clogged by lint, dust, and oil.
  • Low NO2 design for cleaner, healthier air inside your home.
  • Reduced fuel costs.
  • High efficiency resulting in more hot water at lower operating costs.
  • Meets or exceeds National Appliance Energy Conservation Act.
  • Limited tank and parts warranty (6-8 years).
  • Maintenance-free (no filter to clean).

Hybrid Water Heater Advantages

  • Hybrid heat pumps are the most efficient way to heat water with electricity. In fact, they are nearly 300% more energy-efficient.
  • Installing a hybrid heat pump water heater does not require any electrical upgrades.
  • Since hybrid heat pumps use electricity to move heat, they don't produce greenhouse gases like natural gas-powered water heaters.
  • Hybrid heat pumps may qualify for a tax credit.
  • Hybrid heat pump systems produce cold air as they heat your home's water which may lower the temperature of the garage by several degrees.

Tankless Water Heater Advantages

  • Tankless water heaters provide continuous heat rather than being limited to a tank, allowing you to use as much heated water as needed.
  • A lack of a tank makes these water heaters smaller, conserving more space in the home.
  • Compared to a water heater with a tank, these tankless systems require less maintenance.
  • Only heat the water you use, allowing for greater energy efficiency.
  • Lower utility bills as a result of energy conservation.
  • Proper maintenance can make tankless water heaters last up to 10 more years than traditional tank storage water heaters.
