Propane water heating options include technology that is on the cutting edge of energy efficiency, such as condensing tankless water heaters. By choosing energy-efficient propane water heating systems over standard electric water heaters, you can help your homeowner and building owner clients significantly reduce their energy costs. The Department of Energy estimates that approximately 20 percent of a home’s energy costs are spent heating water. That’s why helping your homeowner select an efficient water heater is critical — and propane fuels some of the most efficient tankless water heating technologies available. Propane tankless water heaters provide comfort, versatility, convenience, and efficiency. Here are a few facts you should know. Tankless water heaters deliver an endless supply of water. Their compact size saves roughly 12 square feet of floor space. These systems are on-demand, so they heat water only when it’s needed. That feature eliminates standby losses that occur in systems with hot water storage tanks — like the typical electric water heater. They save more than $150 per year in energy costs compared with typical electric storage water heaters. They have 50 to 60 percent lower CO2 emissions compared with electric storage tank systems. Propane tankless systems also qualify for tax credits and rebates, which can make them even more cost-effective. Tankless Water Heaters Fact Sheet
