Tankless Propane Water Heaters vs. Electric Tank Water Heaters

Posted: March 31, 2016

Did you know that clean-burning, efficient propane is much friendlier to the environment than electricity? Comparing the effects of a propane tankless water heater versus a standard electric tank water heater can really help you appreciate the difference.

• When you use a propane tankless unit to heat your water, very little fuel is wasted in the combustion process.
• When you use an electric tank water heater, about two-thirds of the energy used by a power plant to generate and transmit the electricity goes to waste.

That’s why propane tankless water heaters overall produce about 50% less carbon emissions when compared with an electric water heater storage tank.

With a tankless water heater, you’ll also prevent the wasteful “standby losses” you get with the typical electric storage water heater.
