Hybrid Water Heaters
Filed Under Hot Water Heaters
If you’ve done any research on water heaters, chances are you’ve come across two basic systems: tank and tankless. While many sites and companies are touting tankless water heaters as the way to “go green” and be more efficient in the way your home heats water, it certainly has just as many drawbacks as well.

Now there is a new system that does all it promises and more. It’s called Hybrid Water Heating.
With a tank water heater, heat is generated from the bottom of the tank through a burner, and it rises through the system. Over time, sediment is deposited at the bottom, reducing the efficiency of heating the water.
While a tankless water heater doesn’t store the heated water, it still uses a system in which water transfers through a series of coils, and heats up and is delivered on demand. Because a tankless water heater is activated by flow, this heating cycle starts and is completed every time a faucet is turned on, allowing sediment to build up and potentially clog the coils over time.
A Hybrid Water Heater pushes cold water from the bottom up through a series of radiating transfer pipes. It’s maximizes energy efficiently by pushing the heat in separate directions, and reuses the energy created multiple times. The end result is an endless hot water supply throughout your home, with no reduction in water pressure.
Truly a green way of heating your water. A way to be more efficient with both energy and water. Are you ready to find out more?
