Propane water heaters offer many advantages over electric models:
- Lower operating costs
- Higher efficiencies
- Quicker recovery rates
- Smaller storage space requirements
- Continuous hot water supply
- More accurate temperature adjustment
- Wider selection of sizes, installation, and venting options
- Reduced risk of power problems
Money-saving
- Propane gas water heaters cost approximately $25 less per month to operate than comparable electric units. On average, propane water heaters are up to one-third less expensive to operate than electric heaters.
- Propane gas water heaters have a recovery rate nearly twice as fast as electric water heaters. That means a homeowner can get more hot water from the smaller size tank, reducing the amount of energy required to store hot water.
- Over an average unit’s life span (approx. 10 years), propane gas water heaters can save homeowners between $3,000 and $4,000 when compared with an electric unit.
- Propane gas water heaters heat more than twice as much water in an hour as a comparable electric model.
