A typical family of four uses about 60 gallons of hot water every day. And heating that water for baths, laundry, cooking and dishwashing is the third largest use of household energy, after heating and air conditioning.
Propane water heating provides you with the ability to:
• Heat water fast, so you won’t have to worry about taking a cold shower or running out of hot water.
• Heat water efficiently and have a reliable flow of hot water day after day, year after year.
• Continue your daily routines during a power outage, since many types of propane water heaters do not need electricity to operate.
Propane heats water twice as fast as electricity.
More Plentiful
Have you ever been in the shower when the hot water ran out?
That won’t happen with a propane water heater, because propane heats water at least twice as fast as electricity. There will be plenty of hot water for everyone, every time.
A propane water heater will efficiently deliver years of reliable service with its advanced controls, durable components and a long-lasting heating element.
Even in the event of a storm or power outage, you can have hot water for bathing, cleaning and cooking, because many propane water heaters don’t need electric power to operate.
Did You Know?
• Approximately 20% of a home’s energy costs are spent heating water.
• A 40-gallon propane water heater produces more hot water than a 50-gallon electric water heater. That’s because propane water heaters are able to heat water faster than electric water heaters, and require less storage to maintain a constant flow of hot water.
• Because they incorporate advanced controls and components, propane water heaters have a strong safety record. And, the average life of a propane unit is 12 years.
• Tankless propane water heaters are now available to homeowners. Whereas traditional water heaters continuously store water, tankless systems can save you even more money by heating the water only as you use it.
