Electric Hot Water Tank
Electric water heaters are systems that can supply a constant supply of on
demand hot water. There are many hot water tanks available, such as gas, solar,
electric hot water tanks, and electric tankless water heaters. They are all
unique in their own way, but in this article we’re going to talk about the
electric hot water tank, and what advantages and uses it has over any of the
other hot water systems that are available.
Why Electric Hot Water Tanks?
In the case of the electric water heater, a lot of people have concerns over the
cost of energy used to actually heat the water, and the majority tend to go for
the gas hot water heater instead to save on energy costs (understandable, but
read on!).
With electric hot water tanks you get the speed and the safety of heating water,
whereas with gas water heaters, you always get the risk of gas leakage or
explosions with the highly flammable propane. While it’s not entirely impossible
for electric hot water systems to cause fires, the majority of people tend to
associate the gas hot water heaters with a higher tendency to explode, leak, and
burn. This therefore makes the gas
hot water heater, dangerous in the eyes of the customer.
The Benefits of an Electric Hot Water Heater
The electric hot water heater has some
clear advantages over any other type of water heating system. Electric hot water
systems’ main disadvantage would be the cost of which to keep the water hot,
when compared to less costly water heaters such as gas for example. However, in
these circumstances the cost is not and should not be a key decision maker for
consumers, because the plus points of an electric hot water tank far outweigh
that of the negatives.
The benefits include:
·
Safety - Electric water systems
are a lot safer than the fuel fired water heating tanks.
·
Quality of Air - There are no
effects to the quality of the air with electric heaters, whereas gas water
heaters tend to combust products into the surrounding atmosphere.
·
Convenience and Simplicity -
Simplicity is another key advantage for the electric water tank. They are the
simple and most convenient method for heating water within residential and
commercial properties.
·
Cost efficiency - A lot is said
of the cost of running electric water heaters, but not a lot is mentioned about
the cost effectiveness of other areas. When compared to other hot water systems,
electric water heaters cost considerably less in terms of water heater
installation, design, maintenance, service life, and effect on space
conditioning loads.
·
No Codes – With certain water
heaters there are legal regulations that need to be adhered to. With electric
heaters there aren’t any.
·
No heat loss – With the
electric hot water heater there is less heat loss as they are very well
insulated. Whereas the gas hot water heaters tend to lose heat through flues,
and an un-insulated bottom.
·
Long lasting – Most electric
hot water heaters have a lifespan from 10-18 years without any problems.
