Natural gas water heaters offer two distinct choices in style and three choices for venting (conventional, direct vent, power vent). Additionally, you may be able to combine your gas water heating with home heating. While many people have one appliance for space heating and another for gas water heating, you can have one natural gas appliance that heats both your water and provides heat to your home. This is called a combination system. These gas systems have one heat source that is shared between conventional pieces of equipment such as a tank water heater and an air handler to accomplish dual heating purposes.
If you want to replace your current gas water heater don't wait until it fails, as this will leave little time to choose and install a certified tankless model. Because installation may require the upgrade of your existing natural gas line, as well as special venting for safety and to accommodate higher air flow rates, and running electricity over to the water heater to power the fan and freeze protection element, you will need to allow sufficient time to evaluate costs and complete the change out. To make your life easier, try to have a new one installed before it's an emergency.
Tankless water heaters, also known as demand-type or instantaneous water heaters, provide hot water only as it is needed. They don't produce the standby energy losses associated with storage water heaters, which can save you money. Here you'll find basic information about how they work, whether a tankless water heater might be right for your home, and what criteria to use when selecting the right model. Check out the Energy Saver, Water Heating info graphic to learn if a tankless water heater is right for you.
If you're determined to install your water heater yourself, first consult the manufacturer. Manufacturers usually have the necessary installation and instruction manuals. Also, contact your city or town for information about obtaining a permit, if necessary, and about local water heater installation codes.
Proper installation depends on many factors. These factors include fuel type, climate, local building code requirements, and safety issues, especially concerning the combustion of gas-fired water heaters. Therefore, it's best to have a qualified plumbing and heating contractor install your demand water heater.
