Types of Water Heaters
Gas Water Heaters
Gas water heaters are very common in Wichita. These units use natural gas or sometimes propane as a fuel source. Most homes will have one 40-50 gallon gas water heater, which continually fills as water is used. These units typically need replaced every 10-12 years.
Electric Water Heaters
Instead of gas, electric water heaters use electricity to heat. They can be more energy efficient, however, due to the low cost of natural gas in the Wichita area, gas models can cost less to operate.
Tankless Water Heaters
These units heat water on demand. There is no storage tank, so they take up less space. Because they don’t run constantly, they use less energy than tank models. This savings can be significant over the life of the unit.They also have a longer lifespan than traditional units.
