Water Heaters

Water heaters can be an expensive and frustrating aspect of business ownership, especially if your building is not new construction. The most common water heater across the US today are the old fashioned storage heater. These involve a tank that heats water using gas or electricity (and sometimes solar power), and stores that hot water. This old fashioned method can fail in many ways. Conventional water heaters have the lowest initial cost, however their inefficiency makes them more expensive to operate and upkeep. Conventional tanks are anywhere from 40 to over 100 gallons and they function by heating and storing hot water whether it is being used or not, which is very wasteful.

Heat Pump Water Heaters work by moving heat from one space to another. So they take the hot air from the room they occupy and use that to heat the water in the tank. This is a great way to cool down hot or cramped spaces as well as save you on all of your utilities.
