Common Types of Residential Water Heaters

If the age and efficiency of your current water heater mean you are considering hot water heater replacement, you can choose between a few different types of residential water heaters. Our service professionals have years of experience installing each of these types of water heaters for homes in New Jersey:

• Conventional - A conventional water heater stores water in a large tank so it’s ready when you need it and heats the water up using electricity or natural gas. If you install an energy-efficient water heater, you can reduce your water heating costs by up to 7%.
• Tankless - A tankless water heater doesn’t store hot water. Instead, it heats water up on demand, only when needed. This can reduce your water heating bills by up to 30%.
• Hybrid - A hybrid hot water heater combines conventional tank storage with a heat pump. It uses existing water and electrical connections to power the heat pump. A hybrid water heater can reduce your water heating costs by up to 60%.
