Electric hot water system is quite popular option for heating water that home owners often prefer. Below, we will be briefly discussing about some of the advantages and disadvantages of using electric water heater.
Initial costs are low
The price of an Electric hot water system largely depends on its type and size, no matter what kind of fuel is required to power it. To give an example, the upfront price of traditional tank water heating systems is less compared to tankless water heating systems.
The disparity of price between water heaters is the result of low installation expense. A gas water heating system requires a new ventilation system and extra piping for venting the exhaust that comes from the combustion procedure. Contrariwise, there is no need for extra in-home infrastructure, making the process of installation easier as well as quicker.
Efficiency
Energy factor is proportional to efficiency and very useful for determining the efficiency of water heaters. The EF number of electric water heaters can be higher than 0.9, making it more preferable compared to gas water heaters which have EF numbers ranging from 0.5 to 0.7.
Note:
Though, electric water heaters are quite a safe option to use, still you need to conduct precise inspections and maintenance in order to avoid any safety issues.
