These are the most common ones and most likely the kind you are probably most familiar with. They are also called storage tank water heaters. They consist of an insulated tank in which water is heated and stored until ready for use. There are natural gas water heaters and electric water heaters. Natural gas heaters use less energy but can be more expensive and harder to install. Whether gas or electric, Conventional water heaters should be maintained regularly to operate effiently over their lifespan. They should be drained and flushed at least once every 12 months. Depending on how well you maintain, the life expentancy of a conventional water heater is 10-12 years. Please see this interesting video which explains how conventional water heaters operate.
Also called on-demand, and you’ll see why. Tankless water heaters heat the water without the need of a storage tank. They heat the water directly with the use of intense application of heat against water filled coils. When a hot water faucet is turned on, unheated water travels by way of a pipe into the unit. Either a gas burner or an electric element heats the water. As such, tankless water heaters deliver a constant supply of hot water. If you are part of a large family and tend to run out of hot water quickly, a tankless water heater delivers a constant flow of hot water. On the plus side, tankless water heaters are more efficient energy-wise. On the negative side, they tend to have higher up-front costs. Electric varieties could require an upgrade of the property’s electrical capacity. Gas models could call for installing a larger diameter gas line, a likely expensive undertaking.

Like conventional water heaters, tankless water heaters need to be descaled at least once a year to keep them working properly.

Also called hybrid electric water heaters, they capture heat from the surrounding air or ground and transfer it to the water. They cost more up front than regular electric varieties, but use about 60% less energy.
They’re not as good in very cold spaces. Because the heat pump is on top of the appliance, a hybrid unit could need as much as a 7-foot clearance from ceiling to floor. Here is a video which explains how this works.
Solar hot water heaters function using roof-mounted solar panels that take in the sun’s heat and and moves the heat to an antifreeze-like fluid through a closed-loop circuit of copper coil pipes in your hot-water tank that transfers the heat to the water. The very best solar water heaters deliver surprising savings when it’s hot outside, making them very attractive for hot, sunny regions. Where available, our water heater pro will assist you in deciding which type of solar hot water heater is right for you. Here’s a short video which shows how it operates.

Condensing water heaters operate using the same technology as a conventional gas water heater and are no more difficult to install. The primary difference is that condensing gas tank water heaters are designed to transfer and retain more heat into the water than a conventional gas water heater. This results in less wasted heat and reduces total energy use.
