Gas Water Heaters vs. Electric Water Heaters
The two most popular types of water heaters in the country are of the gas and electric variety. These two types cover the vast majority of homes, and each has its own pros and cons. Gas water heaters tend to be a bit more popular than electric water heaters for a couple of different reasons. For one thing, gas water heaters are a bit more energy efficient. The amount of heat resulting from natural gas combustion is of a more favorable ratio than the amount of heat garnered from electrical coils. Gas water heaters are also a bit longer lived, on average.
The Advantages of Gas Water Heaters
As mentioned above, there are a variety of advantages to installing a gas water heater in your home. Aside from those already listed, gas water heaters are among the most difficult to exhaust with heavy usage. All water heaters have a limit, a point at which their output cannot match the demand coming from the home. Gas water heaters, however, keep a reservoir of hot water ready for use, and are able to replenish that supply relatively quickly. With an appropriately sized gas water heater, you can use it without fear of using up all the hot water. Of course, you can still exhaust the hot water available if you decide to take an hour–long shower or the like. Still, gas water heaters are highly recommended for homes in which hot water is used in large quantities on a regular basis.
