Electric or gas hot water tank?
Enercare offers a range of electric and gas-powered tank water heaters designed to meet the hot water needs of Alberta households of different sizes.
Here are some facts to consider when making the choice between the two:
Gas water heaters
These heat water more quickly and are often more efficient than electric units. Only power-vented units are affected by power outages.
Electric water heaters
These tend to have lower upfront costs but are slower to heat water and are affected by power outages.
Tankless water heater options may also be available for homes that meet installation requirements.
