Let’s be honest, most people don’t really think or care much about what kind of water heater they have in their homes as long as it provides hot water for them when they need it. That’s the thing, though: not every water heater is going to work the same way in every situation. The kind of water heater you install in your home actually has quite a large impact, which is why you should consider the various options and the benefits each can provide. There are different types of water heaters which range from natural gas water heaters, electric water heaters, solar water heaters, heat pump water heaters, tankless water heaters to storage tank water heaters, conventional water heaters, condensing water heaters and demand water heaters. Many are high efficiency, which can save money on propane or electric rates, and offer cost savings on energy bills by having a lower energy consumption. 

How these different hot water heaters buildup water temperature varies, but among the most common types are gas water heaters, which use natural gas or propane for their fuel source.
