If you’ve ever had to power through an icy shower after running out of hot water or lost hot water during a power outage, we have some options for you to consider.
A natural gas tankless water heater provides an endless supply of hot water. A tank model will operate during most power outages. Both a tankless and a traditional tank natural gas water heater are energy-efficient, affordable choices for all households.
According to the Family Handyman, tankless water heaters can provide two to five gallons of hot water per minute. In terms of costs, households can save up to 70% when switching from electric water heaters and up to 50% when switching from standard natural gas water heater tanks.
These savings come from no longer needing to store hot water and the burner activating to continuously keep the water hot for eventual use. A tankless unit also saves space — 12 to 15 square feet — and it lasts about 20 years.
Installing a new natural gas water heater not only lowers energy costs—but may also qualify for natural gas cash-back rebates. Or there’s an option to choose the tank or tankless water heater that meets your needs and budget with a simple, low-cost natural gas water heater payment plan added to the monthly Peoples Gas bill.
