Choosing the right water heater for your needs

Renting vs. Owning
Some people choose to rent a water heater instead of purchasing it. Renting is generally more expensive in the long term with rental fees often surpassing the cost of the water heater in the first few years. Additionally, to get out of a rental contract, you may experience steep cancellation fees.

Understanding water heaters
Hot water solutions use energy to move heat from one place to another. They provide both efficient heating and cooling to help keep your home comfortable year-round.
Major factors to consider when choosing a water heater
-
Type:
- Tank Water Heater: This type stores hot water in a big tank, so you have hot water ready when you need it.
- Tankless Water Heater: This type heats water only when you need it, so it doesn’t store hot water in a tank.
-
Size: The size of the water heater tells us how much hot water it can provide. If the water heater is too small, you might run out of hot water. If it’s too big, it might use more energy than you need.
-
Energy type: Water heaters can use different fuels like natural gas, electricity, or propane.
-
Efficiency: Efficiency tells us how well the water heater uses energy to heat water. A high-efficiency water heater uses less energy, saving money on your energy bills and helping the environment.
-
Your budget: The cost of a water heater can vary depending on the type, model and installation needed to support your home's characteristics and size.
