Gas Continuous Flow Hot Water Heater

Continuous flow (tankless) hot water heaters that use natural gas or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) as a fuel source offer several advantages. Here are reasons to choose either natural gas or LPG continuous flow hot water heaters.

Reasons to Choose a Natural Gas instantaneous hot water heater:

- Cost Efficiency: Natural gas is often less expensive than electricity, making it a cost-effective choice for heating water. Natural gas continuous flow heaters can result in lower energy bills, especially for households with high hot water demand.

- Endless Hot Water: Natural gas tankless water heaters provide a continuous supply of hot water as long as there is a steady supply of natural gas. This means you won't run out of hot water, even during periods of high demand.

- Rapid Heating: Natural gas hot water heaters heat water quickly, providing hot water almost instantly when you turn on the tap. This can be a significant advantage during peak usage times.

- Energy Efficiency: Gas tankless water heaters are generally more energy-efficient than their electric counterparts. They don't experience standby heat loss because they only heat water as it's needed, reducing energy waste.

- Long Lifespan: Well-maintained natural gas tankless heaters can have a longer lifespan, typically lasting 20 years or more. This can reduce the need for frequent replacements.

Reasons to Choose LPG:

- Portability: LPG is stored in portable cylinders, making it an excellent choice for homes in areas without access to natural gas lines. You can easily install an LPG  water heater wherever LPG cylinders can be stored.

- Versatility: LPG tankless heaters are versatile and can be used in various settings, including remote cabins, mobile homes, or places where natural gas infrastructure is unavailable.

- Instantaneous Heating: Similar to natural gas tankless heaters, LPG models provide instant hot water, making them convenient for on-demand use.

- Energy Efficiency: LPG continuous flow heaters are typically more energy-efficient than electric storage heaters. They only heat water when you need it, reducing energy consumption and costs.

- Reliable Supply: LPG cylinders are readily available, and many suppliers offer convenient delivery services to ensure you have a consistent supply of LPG.

In both cases, natural gas and LPG continuous flow hot water heaters offer efficient and on-demand hot water, making them suitable for various applications. Your choice between the two will depend on factors like the availability of natural gas infrastructure in your area and your specific needs, such as portability or versatility.

Always use a licenced plumber when installing a new hot water heater, and a plumber who is also a licenced gas fitter when installing a gas hot water heater
