Water heating is typically the third largest energy expense in your home. Your water heater typically accounts for about 12% - 15% of your utility bill. An old water heater can operate for years at very low efficiency before it finally fails. The average life expectancy of a natural gas water heater is about 8-15 years depending on how much of a workout you water heater operates under.
A natural gas tankless water heater can deliver hot water at a constant temperature whenever you need it. Now you can have an endless supply of hot water in your home or business with a water heater that is about the size of a briefcase. Since the unit holds no water in it, there is no risk of leaking or flooding from this type of water heater.
Basically, an electric water heater is an insulated tank filled with water. Electrical elements controlled by thermostats heat the water and keep it hot. Most electric water heaters have two 4500 watt elements. One element is located near the top of the tank and the other is located near the bottom. Each element is controlled by a separate thermostat but the two thermostats are interlocked; when one is on the other is off. The top element heats water in the top 1/4 of the tank.
When the water at the top of the tank reaches the correct temperature, the top element shuts off and the lower element turns on to heat up the remaining water. This contributes to quicker recovery in high use situations. Since the elements are immersed in water, the heat goes directly into the water; this makes electric water heaters one of the most efficient ways to heat hot water.
