A hot water tank will generally last between 7 to 10 years. Depending on the condition of the water in your home, that number can drop to 5 years or less. The most common cause of failure for hot water tank heaters is corrosion at the base of the tank, leading to water leaking out

If you have a hot water tank in the basement of your Toronto home, then you already know that there is a limit to the amount of hot water that you will have access at any given time. A thirty gallon tank will generally provide about 15 to 20 minutes of hot water before it

Tankless water heaters have become more popular than ever in recent years thanks in large part to the rising cost of energy. Traditional hot water heaters use a tank and hold the hot water in that tank until it’s needed. They will continue to turn on and off when the water temperature drops, so you

Every minute of every day, the hot water heater in your home is working. That doesn’t mean that the elements are on, heating the water, but it is measuring the temperature of the water in the tank and, when needed, it’s turning on those elements to keep the water at the desired temperature. Most homeowners

Electric water heaters operate by passing current through electrical resistance heating elements. Each unit usually has two of these elements – one in the middle of the tank and one at the bottom. A thermostat that senses the water temperature triggers the elements. When the temperature drops below a certain threshold, the current is sent

Hot water is something most of us take for granted … until there’s no more hot water on that morning when it’s cold and you’re running late. Thankfully, it doesn’t happen often because the systems we use these days are reliable and can operate for years without a problem. But when a problem does occur,

The average electric heater uses current that is passed through electrical resistance heating elements to heat the water. There are usually two of these heating elements, one at the middle of the tank and one at the bottom. The thermostat (a switch that senses the temperature of the water) sends power to the heating elements.

The second highest usage of energy for Canadians is heating water – first is space heating. Finding ways to reduce hot water energy use can therefore be an important part of an overall plan to reduce household energy costs. Most water used in Canadian homes is heated in a traditional water heater tank. These tanks

Storage-tank water heaters have served institutional and commercial facilities very well for years. But it is now apparent that this technology can waste more than 50 percent of the potential energy in natural gas and might not make sense, considering today’s rising energy costs. Water-heating systems are typically second only to HVAC systems when it

Water heaters are one of the most energy inefficient appliances in your home. Having hot water is always important, especially for showering and washing your clothes. When it comes to buying a new water heater, you have two main choices: traditional tank water heaters and tankless water heaters. A tankless water heater is the better
