Types Of Water Heaters
The proper hot water heater for your home will depend on your family’s habits and the size of your home. A standard tank (either an electric water heater or a gas water heater) will usually come in 60-80 gallon sizes.
While hot water tank heaters are very high efficiency in terms of heating time, there are still some limitations with this style of hot water heater, as they store hot water in set quantities. You’ll be limited to only using what’s available in the tank, and when it empties there will be a delay as it refills with cold water and heats it up.
However, most hot water tank heaters are designed to be more than adequate for certain family sizes and uses, so getting properly sized for your hot water heaters is essential to enjoying hot water when you need it.
If you’re looking for endless hot water and high energy efficiency, an Ottawa tankless water heater might be the way to go. The main difference between a tankless water heater and a hot water tank is that the tankless hot water heater will quickly heat cold water as it flows through the unit, rather than pre-heating cold water and storing it hot.
When looking for the best tankless water heater, you can choose between condensing or non-condensing units. Condensing units are around 18% more efficient, as they capture and recycle the residual heat leftover from the heating process, which reduces your overall operating costs. This is why Hot Water Ottawa only provides condensing units to the people of Kanata.
If you’re looking for the right water heater that has a perfect balance of energy efficiency without being too high in upfront costs, hybrid water heaters are a great option. Able to last twice as long as standard electric water heater or gas water heaters, hybrid heat pump hot water heaters save on electricity by moving heat from one place to another, rather than creating heat by itself. Like a refrigerator in reverse, it takes heat from the surrounding air and combines it with the water in the tank.
When demand is high, the unit will switch to electricity to heat up the water (hence the “hybrid” part of the name), so you won’t have to worry about slow heating. But because it only has to do this about half the time, it will last twice as long than standard models.

When your hot water heater or tankless heater breaks down, you need help right away. A tank bursting and flooding your basement is an emergency, but even if you’re out of hot water, you’ll want those plumbing issues resolved as soon as possible.

Depending on how long your unit has been around, and how well it has been maintained, will determine whether the issues you’re experiencing will be worth repairing, or if a complete replacement might be better.

- Scalding hot water
