Advantages & Disadvantages to Electric Tank Water Heaters
Electric tank water heaters use electricity to heat the water, and they have many advantages over gas tank water heaters. They are a much simpler design because they have fewer parts. They are also safer because they do not produce carbon monoxide gas. Because of that, they do not require air ventilation. Electric tank water heaters are particularly nice if your water heater is inside of your home, as they are the quietest units around. In addition, electric water heaters usually have a longer life expectancy than a gas-run water heater.
There are two major disadvantages to an electric tank water heater. 1) Electric water heaters are not very energy efficient, and 2) the hot water inside the tank takes longer to replenish.
