When you are taking a look at the different types of water heaters, you need to consider the fuel type that comes with it. You may be limited by what is available in your home, which can help you to lower your choices and makes the decision a little bit easier. Some of the options for fuel type when choosing a water heater includes:
# Electricity: This is one of the most widely used options in the United States for tankless, demand-type, or conventional storage. It can even work for the heat pump water heaters if that is what you choose in your home. Since it can work with so many different types of water heaters, it is a good option to choose.
# Fuel oil: This is found in some areas, but not in all. it is a good option for conventional water heaters, and space heating systems to name a few.
# Geothermal energy: This is going to work well if you already have a geothermal heat pump in your home for heating and cooling. But if you do not have this, the added expense may not make it a good choice for you.
# Natural gas: This is going to work for conventional and tankless water heaters pretty well, along with space heating systems and combination water heaters. You will need to have a natural gas hookup already to your home or there will be added expenses to get it done.
# Propane: Another option that you can consider is propane. This works for most of the different types of water heaters, but you have to see whether it is an option in your area or not. You may need to have some extra hookups installed to get this one to work for you.
# Solar energy: There are a number of areas that will use this one, but it is most commonly found in the Southwest. It only works for a solar water heater so you will need to get a specific type to make it work.
