What Does a Water Heater’s Energy Factor Mean?

When buying a new water heater, you will likely come across an Energy Factor (EF) on the different models. So, what is this and what does it mean?

The EF rating compares the energy in the heated water to the unit’s overall daily energy consumption. The higher the rating, the lower the operating costs typically are. These models can save you money on your utility bills over time.

If you have questions about the EF rating, ask our plumbers at PHD Mechanical Inc! We can help you with your hot water tank installation!

How Do Tankless Water Heaters Make Hot Water?

While one of the advantages hot water heaters provide is they don’t require a storage tank, you might be wondering how they make hot water. Instead of heating water in a tank, tankless units heat water as it flows through the pipes in the heat exchangers inside the system.

When you turn on the water to take a hot shower, a sensor detects you need hot water and turns on the burner, which will heat the water.

What’s the Biggest Advantage of On-demand Water Heater vs Storage Tank Unit?

If you’re debating if you should get a traditional water heater or a tankless unit, you will want to know the biggest reason to switch to an on-demand unit. According to our experts, one of the biggest advantages is that you will have access to an endless supply of hot water. Whereas with a storage tank unit you need to wait for the entire water heater tank to heat up, with a tankless system it is heated as you need it, so you are never left waiting for a long time for the water to heat up before you can shower.

This can be beneficial if you have multiple household members who try to shower right after each other. Instead of scheduling 20-30 minute breaks between showers for the water to heat up, they can shower right away.

We work with Navien, Bradford White, Delta, Moen, and Kohler. We also service most major brands. Make us your water heater replacement company!
