What are the comparative advantages and disadvantages of electric and solar water heaters?

Solar hot water heaters need sunlight to work. While you can store the heat and create closed loop systems that protect the system from freezing, the use of solar hot water heaters really makes sense if you have full sun exposure and are willing to moderate your usage. It also may cost more to install a domestic solar hot water system. These can run on 12v oe 11v for the pump, or you could go passive- there are many different types and options. Check Home Power mag. Electric hot water systems come in two flavors; tank and tankless. For electric tank systems, the cost of heating water with electricity can be quite large. These tank heaters store hot water and are using electricity just to keep the tank warm. This is not very efficient even with insulating blankets. Once you run out of hot water in the tank(as cold rushes in) your shower is over. The heater itself is usually inexpensive. Plumbing is straignt foward, with 30 to 40 amp 220V feed required. Tankless water heaters or "on demand" water heaters (both gas and electric) are fantastic! They are the least expensive to operate, and fairly simple to install. The electric tankless heater requires no exhust ducting and is perfect for under the counter usage or with larger units can heat the water for an entire home. The tankless design never runs out of water! These are perfect for solar installations that may encounter weeks of cloudy weather. The units are more expensive than tank heaters, and usually require 220v service (if electric). if your doing reseach on this great if not get a life losers


Where hot water is kept?

Hot water is typically stored in water heaters, which can be tank-based or tankless systems. Tank water heaters maintain a reservoir of heated water, while tankless models heat water on demand as it flows through the unit. Additionally, hot water can be stored in insulated containers or thermoses for temporary use. In some heating systems, hot water is circulated through pipes to radiators or underfloor heating.


Are all Water heaters 240 volt?

No, not all water heaters are 240 volts. While many electric water heaters, especially larger models, operate on 240 volts for efficient heating, there are also smaller units and some models designed for residential use that operate on 120 volts. Additionally, gas water heaters do not rely on voltage as they use natural gas or propane for heating. Always check the specifications of the specific water heater model for its voltage requirements.


Are tankless gas water heaters more efficient than tank type gas water heaters?

not only more efficient, but with tax breaks and gas company credits they are very competitive pricewise if you can find a floor model like i did. even if you can't it will pay for itself in 2 years and has a longer warranty than a tank

What are the main differences between an electric and propane tankless water heater, and which one is more efficient for heating water in a household?

The main differences between an electric and propane tankless water heater are the energy source they use to heat water. Electric tankless water heaters use electricity, while propane tankless water heaters use propane gas. In terms of efficiency, electric tankless water heaters are generally more efficient for heating water in a household because they have a higher energy factor and lower operating costs compared to propane tankless water heaters.


How much propane does a tankless hot water heater use?

Most tankless hot water heaters are electric. I've never heard of a propane one.


What are the key differences between a propane tankless water heater and an electric tankless water heater?

A propane tankless water heater uses propane gas as a fuel source, while an electric tankless water heater uses electricity. Propane heaters typically have higher heating capacities and can be more energy-efficient, but they require a propane supply. Electric heaters are easier to install and maintain, but may have lower heating capacities and higher operating costs.


What are the main differences between a propane and electric tankless water heater?

Propane tankless water heaters use propane gas as a fuel source, while electric tankless water heaters use electricity. Propane heaters typically have higher heating capacities and can provide hot water more quickly, but they require a gas line and proper ventilation. Electric heaters are easier to install and maintain, but may have lower heating capacities and higher operating costs.

What are the key differences between tankless water heaters powered by propane and electric, and which option is more efficient for heating water in a residential setting?

Tankless water heaters powered by propane and electric differ in their energy source and efficiency. Propane tankless heaters are more energy-efficient and provide higher flow rates, making them suitable for larger households with higher hot water demands. Electric tankless heaters are generally less expensive upfront and easier to install, but may struggle to meet the hot water needs of larger households. Ultimately, the most efficient option for heating water in a residential setting depends on factors such as household size, hot water usage, and energy costs.
