Choosing a Hot Water Tank for Your Home

Warm showers and steaming dishes are just a few of the simple joys provided by a reliable hot water tank. If your current water heater is around 6–12 years old, it might be time to start looking for a replacement.

Of course, like everything else, improvements in technology mean there are newer products available that you should explore before making a decision. Fortunately, there are only a few key factors to consider when selecting your next water heater, but they're crucial! Let's review what you need to know before investing in this essential appliance.

Energy Source

In theory, you could choose either an electric or gas-powered water heater, but one is significantly more popular in households than the other... Can you guess which one?

Correct! Gas heaters are far more common due to their space-saving design and lower operating costs compared to electric models, which require more room for proper ventilation and are often found in office environments.

Cost

Paying top dollar doesn't automatically guarantee the best water heater for your needs. Conversely, cutting corners on upfront costs won't necessarily save you money in the long term. Skipping warranties is also risky—something we strongly advise against.

Partnering with a reputable company that works with quality brands is your safest route. We collaborate with trusted local businesses in Alberta to ensure you get the most cost-effective solution, not only during installation but also over time. It's these ongoing expenses that truly affect the overall value of your water heater and the wise investment you'll want to make in an efficient model.

We offer three excellent protection plans designed to minimize repair costs. Browse our Home Protection Plans to compare the Home Systems Protection Plan, Appliance Protection Plan, and Whole Home Protection Plan. Discover the perfect plan for you today!

Efficiency

High-efficiency models consume up to 10–50% less energy than traditional ones! This means you're utilizing nearly half of the energy generated instead of wasting it—a pretty impressive feat, if you ask us.

In the end, the savings on your monthly energy bill from having an efficient water heater will outweigh the initial expense of installing such a unit.
