I do not want to use old water heater tanks.
Tanks need to be approxiamately standard water heater tank size.
I need a manufacturer of the tanks for electric water heaters. Rheem, GE, etc. say that they cannot sell just the tanks.

that mean? Also, what hazards are being caused if an electric water heaters "insides" are leaking out? I know about the dangers of gas water heaters and heating units but what about electric? If that is happening, what damage does that do to humans, animals and materials?

I live in a rural area in Texas and electric and propane are the only options. I use to think propane is cheaper, but I only use it for one appliance, my water heater, and it is about 0-00 a year depending upon the price of propane (.40/gal currently in my area). I realize electric water heaters will make my electric bill higher, but I can’t imagine it exceeding my current propane costs for the year. I am considering to get a electric water heater and thus go all electric, and was wondering ifanyone had the same or different opinions so that I can make an informed decision. Fyi, I do eventually plan to convert my house to solar maybe 3 years from now, but I want to decide on whether to stay with propane or go with a electric water heater now.

I have an electric water heater that is due for replacement. My range, and central heat is gas. There is no gas line piped to the location of the water heater.

I am considering a tankless water heater. I am considering electric, because the house is already wired for it. If I go with gas, then I will have to run a pipe to it. What do you think?

What do you think of hybrid (gas/electric) water heaters?

Is a tankless water heater really better than a conventional water heater with a timer attached?

Just wondering…I have seen so many electric water heaters on the market and I just want to know if they are safe with the excessive amount of power that is used to heat the water.

What regulations/laws etc must be complied with in the design of an electric water heater?

I need to buy a new water heater and it has to be electric. The way I am reading the requirements to be eligible for a tax credit, the electric water heater has to have an Energy Factor of 2.0 or greater. I’m not finding any electric water heaters with an Energy Factor above 0.98 though. Any specific brands and model numbers of a qualifying electric water heater will be greatly appreciated.
I appreciate the answers. Thanks for your help.

Why A Propane Portable Water Heater Is Good For You

Portable hot water heaters have been responsible for big changes in our standard of living when we head out camping. After all, not everyone can conjure piping hot water whenever they want to, and heating it up over the fire or a propane stove is a real problem. A propane portable hot water heater is the answer to these issues. It can provide hot water for you wherever you go, whenever you need it. These hot water heaters are a smart choice for just about everyone. Here’s a look at what they can do.

Hot Water Convenience With a Portable Water Heater

Not everybody wants to leave the convenience of their own home behind when they go camping. We have fleets of RVs and other camping vehicles to tell us that. But what if you can’t afford or don’t want to keep something like this? What if you don’t mind the outdoors, but wouldn’t mind having some additional options when it comes to your water?

If a nice hot camp shower or an easy cup of hot coffee in the morning is a real priority, a propane portable hot water heater might be just the thing for you. It can really make your life much easier, no matter who you are or how you camp.

Heaters are available that can heat up to five gallons at a time, and they can be set to a particular temperature. That’s a lot safer than trying to heat your water over the fire, without knowing how hot it’ll be. There are no worries about burns, which can be a real problem when you’ve got kids around the campsite.

Great for washing up, cooking, bathing and many other water intensive activities, a portable water heater is one of the best possible camping purchases.

Sick of waiting for water to heat up in a solar shower?

Propane does the trick, quickly, easily and efficiently.

Portable Water Heater Fuels

There are more fuels for a portable water heater than just gas. For instance, electric hot water heaters are available. They run on batteries, which can be very heavy, and hard to dispose of after they’re exhausted, however. Plus, electricity isn’t as green for water heating purposes. It’s less efficient and usually comes from more polluting fuels. By comparison, propane containers can often be refilled, and the gas burns very cleanly, as well.

Make sure you choose a portable water heater with good safety features, to prevent gas escape, leakage, and other problems, and always check the valves before use. These few precautions can help you enjoy hot water wherever you go!

Take A Portable Hot Water Heater On Your Next Camping Trip

A portable hot water heater that runs on propane could be just the thing you’ve always needed. Take one on your next camping trip to enjoy hot showers, washing up water and more, without all the inconvenience that comes from heating the water over the stove. Portable hot water heaters are definitely the smart way to go.
