Gas water heaters are approximately twice as fast at heating water compared with electric models. While an electric heater may take an hour to heat 100 liters of water, a gas model can heat an entire 200-liter tank within an hour. This means you’re less likely to run out of hot water. For larger families, a gas heater is usually the better option because electric water heaters may have trouble keeping up with high demands for hot water. However, the operational cost is less than an electric model. Although natural gas is more apt to combust or leak, a gas model provides hot water without electricity. At Proto Home Service we provide high quality gas water heater installation service.

Electric water heaters installatio are essentially the same as gas water heaters, with the only difference being that they use electricity as their fuel source to heat the water through upper and lower heating elements. Gas water heaters only use a lower heating element.  The hot water rises in the tank (just like gas water heaters) and then flows to other appliances to the home through a pipe. An electric tank is less expensive to buy and install than a gas tank. This heat source is considered safer than gas, as there’s a smaller risk of a leak or combustion.

Oil-fired water heaters, like traditional electric and gas powered water heaters, have a tank system in which water is stored so it is always ready to be used when needed. However, there are some differences between oil fired heaters and heaters operated via other types of fuel. In particular, only oil-fired heaters use both oil and electricity for fuel. With an oil-fired heater, there is a burner that creates an oil plus water mixture. Because of this, oil water heaters are more energy efficient than other water heaters. They can also store and heat up more water, and are very reliable for long-term use. At Proto Home Service we offer Oil-Fired Water Heater Installation & Repair service.

Tankless heaters will heat water on demand and can be more compact than other heater varieties. Rather than warming gallons of water at a time, they only heat up the water you need at the moment, making them an efficient option. Our professional team is just a phone call away for your tankless water heater installation, repair or maintainance. Hybrid heaters can use multiple methods to heat water, including electricity and heat pump. This makes them an efficient, energy-saving choice. Hybrid heaters are both more efficient and better for the environment. In Massachusetts, municipalities and manufacturers also grant rebates on hybrid heaters as an extra incentive. Contact us.
