A water heater is the best option for providing hot water, in some cases where the use of some heating equipment is not economically justified or only hot water is needed. The following content provides the full information on the capacity, models, brands, specifications, and the best price of all types of water heaters so stay put.
Water Heater Experts' Buying Guide and Price List
If you need a water heater to have access to hot water at any time and you do not know what type of electric, gas, wall, or even solar water heater to choose, with what capacity, brand, price, and specifications, the rest of this content will answer all your questions.
Different Types of Water Heaters in Terms of Fuel Consumption
In general, water heaters can be divided into three categories in terms of fuel consumption:
Gas and Diesel Water Heater
Electrical Water Heater
Solar Water Heater
Different Types of Water Heaters in Terms of Water Storage
There are two types of water heaters in terms of storage, tank and tankless:
Tank Water Heater
Tank water heaters are one of the most common water heater models. As its name suggests, this type of water heater has a tank in which hot water is stored and can be used when we need it.
In terms of fuel consumption, water heaters with tanks have different types of gas, diesel, and even electric types. Solar water heaters also can have a tank to store hot water.
Tankless Water Heater
In these types of water heaters, water is heated instantly but the amount of water is limited. Tankless water heaters are suitable for those who only use hot water for toilet and washing.
Pilot Water Heater Vs. Ionized Ignition Water Heater
In pilot water heaters, the lit flame is permanently on, but to turn on ionized model water heaters, a smart ignition system is used.
There is very little sediment in the converter tubes of water heaters with ionized systems, which is why the life of this device is longer than other types.
Different Types of Water Heaters In Terms of Installation Location
There are two types of water heaters in terms of installation location:
Standing Water Heaters
Standing water heaters have an insulated tank and are produced in different capacities due to their position.
This type of water heater is also usually used in apartments that have a large area or a large number of residents and require a larger volume of hot water.
Wall-Mounted Water Heaters
As their name suggests, these types of water heaters are mounted on the wall with a lighter and smaller form factor than standing water heaters. Wall-mounted water heaters are usually installed on the kitchen wall or terrace.
This type of water heater does not have a water storage source, and when the user opens the hot water tap it starts working and heats the water through the combustion system inside the device's chamber. Wall-mounted water heaters provide instant and uniform hot water for sanitary purposes.
Different Types of Solar Water Heaters
Solar water heaters, which are usually tank water heaters, can be divided into the following three categories according to their function:
Thermosyphon Solar Water Heater
In thermosiphon solar water heaters, there is no pump installed on the device, and this operation is done only by using the energy of the sun.
The main problem of this system is freezing in cold seasons because the double-wall source must be installed at a level higher than the collector and in the space outside the building.
Pressure-Pumped Solar Water Heater
In this type of water heater, a pump is used in the pressurized solar water heater, which has a closed system to move the fluid, and antifreeze is used to prevent the water from freezing.
pressure-pumped water heaters are less efficient in areas where the temperature difference between day and night is high. The advantage of this system is that the storage tank can be placed indoors, usually in the engine room.
Gravity Return Solar Water Heater
In gravity-return solar water heaters, return and circulate the water through a closed system, They absorb the heat of the sun and heat the water in the tank through a heat exchanger.
This system is active as long as the heat of the sun is sufficient; otherwise, the pump is disabled, and the water is drained into the tank due to gravity.
It is recommended to use this type of solar water heater for office units, but if you want to use a wall-mounted gas water heater, those that produce less than 12 liters of hot water per minute will also be suitable.
In general, one of the best ways to supply hot water for commercial and office buildings that do not require the use of large volumes of hot water (such as bathroom showers) is to use this type of solar water heater.
Solar Water Heater Advantages
Solar water heaters are one of the great types of water heaters, and we considered their advantages in the following:
An endless source of solar energy
Being safe and increasing safety assurance
Clean and without environmental pollution
Free and always available
A suitable alternative to reduce the consumption of other fuels
Prevent global warming
The place of storage and supply of hot water needed at night and even on cloudy days (up to 24 hours)
The possibility of transferring and storing the hot water of the solar water heater to the hot water coil source of the building

Factors to Consider When Buying a Water Heater
When choosing a water heater, you should pay attention to the following factors:
The Amount of Hot Water Required in lit/min: Based on the number of bathrooms and toilets, family members, and the amount of hot water consumption, you can get a water heater of the right size.
Type of Water Heater: Gas water heater - Electrical water heater - Standing water heater - Wall-mounted water heater - Solar water heater
Water Heater Safety: If the safety of the water heater is important to you, you should get a water heater that has a thermal switch in addition to the standard safety systems.
Instant Hot Water: If you want the water to heat up very quickly, look for a water heater that can heat the water at the same time as turning on the faucet, and don't wait for the water to heat up.
Water Pressure: Water pressure varies in different areas; if you live in an area with very low water pressure, buy a water heater that can work with low water pressure.
Of course, to turn on the low-pressure water heater, minimum water pressure is still needed otherwise, the water heater will not turn on. In this case, it is better to use a tank water heater.
With or Without Pilots: Water heaters with pilots are among the old models in the market that need a permanent flame to work, which slightly increases the cost of gas consumption.
Still, today, due to the advancement of technology, water heaters have entered the market that are without pilots and work using an automatic ionization ignition system.
Note: Choose the size of the water heater according to the space you intend to install it.
Important: The amount of hot water consumed in the toilet is about 4 liters per minute, for the bathroom about 9 to 12 liters per minute, and for the kitchen about 6 liters per minute.
Water Heater Implementation and Installation Tips
To use solar water heaters, you should pay attention to the minimum space required to install the device.
Pay attention to the fact that the shadow of neighboring buildings or even the shadow of your own building's ridge is not created on the solar energy absorption panel during the day taking into account the different angles of sunlight and the movement of shadows.
When installing and operating wall-mounted gas water heaters, you should pay attention to the distance between cabinets, side walls, chimney location, and distance from the gas valve permissible installation height.
When installing electric water heaters, you should also contact the manufacturer to install the water heater in the appropriate location while observing safety precautions.
Water Heater Safety Factors
Water heater safety is of particular importance because ignoring them can lead to serious accidents, including explosions, fires, or gas poisoning. The following are some safety tips related to different types of water heaters:
Gas Burning Water Heater Safety
Gas water heaters require special care because they use natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Some safety tips include the following:
Ventilation: Gas water heaters should be installed in a well-ventilated space, in addition to allowing fresh air for combustion, to prevent the accumulation of toxic gases such as carbon monoxide.
The water heater chimney should be installed properly and its path should be checked regularly to ensure that there is no blockage in its path.
Gas Leaks: If you smell gas, immediately turn off the gas system and contact a specialist. As you know, it is necessary to periodically check the gas pipe connections, especially the gas water heater chimney.
Temperature Adjustment: The temperature of gas water heaters should not be too high (usually set at 50-60 degrees Celsius) to avoid the risk of skin burns with hot water.
Gas water heaters are equipped with a temperature adjustment system and automatic shutdown (safety thermostat). Note that you should ensure the health of these systems periodically and intermittently.
Regular Inspection: Check the gas water heater burner regularly. The flame color should be blue. If the flame is yellow or orange, your device is probably not working properly and needs to be checked for combustion and gas and air readjustment by a specialist.
It is also recommended to install carbon monoxide sensors near gas water heaters to ensure 100% safety of gas leaks.
Electric Water Heater Safety
Electric water heaters use electrical elements to heat the water and require special care due to the use of electricity:
Preventing Electric Shock: Make sure your electric water heater has a grounding system to prevent electric shock. Disconnect electric water heaters from the power supply during installation or repair. Replace any worn or damaged cables on the device immediately.
Preventing Overheating: Set the temperature of the electric water heater within the appropriate range (50-60 degrees Celsius) to prevent the risk of burning people's skin with hot water and reduce electricity consumption. If the device has a thermal safety system, ensure its proper functioning as well as the thermostat on your water heater.
Maintenance: It is better to regularly clean the internal deposits of the water heater tank because deposits can reduce the efficiency of the device and increase electricity consumption. The elements of electric water heaters should be checked periodically and replaced if necessary.
Solar Water Heater Safety
Solar water heaters have fewer risks than gas and electric water heaters because they do not use gas or electricity, but you still need to follow some safety tips:
Installation and Maintenance: The surface of solar panels should be cleaned and checked regularly to maintain their efficiency.
The water tank of the solar water heater should be protected against corrosion and descaling if necessary.
The installation and location of solar water heater panels should be in a place that has the least chance of being in the shade during different seasons of the year.
Temperature Control: If the solar water heater system is used with an electric or gas heater, ensure the correct water temperature settings of the water heater.
Industrial Water Heater
Industrial water heaters are used in various types to provide instant hot water for consumption in factories, workshops, public baths, car washes, restaurants, swimming pools, industrial sites, some buildings, etc.
Industrial water heaters are considered heat transfer and instant hot water supply equipment and have a structure similar to other heat transfer equipment and heat exchangers.
