Conventional

Conventional water heaters use a large tank to store hot water. Sizes range from 40-gallons up to 120-gallons. Size is generally determined by the number of users and their hot water demand. They are generally less expensive to buy than tankless heaters. Conversely, they use more energy and cost more to run. They heat the water in the tank and store it for use. It is delivered quickly to faucets throughout the building. This is seen as an advantage for conventional water heaters. They are also easy to maintain. The downside is the size of the tank and the possibility of running out of hot water. Baths, long showers, and laundry drain some tanks. Smith Plumbing & Heating sells, maintains, and repairs conventional water heaters. Call us, we can discuss your requirements and find a solution. Since 1917 we have sold and serviced thousands of water heaters in Saskatoon.

Power Vent

Power Vents are tank water heaters. They differ in the way they expel combustion gases. Conventional vent heaters do so vertically, using the building’s chimney. Power Vent heaters blow the exhaust through a horizontal vent. It vents the gases through an exterior wall vent to the outside. This type of venting is superior for avoiding potential backdraft. Backdraft can spread carbon monoxide which can be fatal and as such, Power Vent water heaters can help protect your family. They are also more flexible in where they can be installed as they do not need access to the chimney. These water heaters are more expensive than conventional water heaters though the advantages can outweigh the cost difference.
