Storage (Tank) Water Heaters.
Water is kept hot and ready for use at all times in insulated storage tanks with capacities ranging from 20 to 80 gallons. Many fuel options are available, including electricity, natural gas, oil, and propane. One drawback of these units is the energy used to keep the water hot at all times, otherwise known as "standby losses."

Solar Water Heaters.
While the initial purchase price of solar water heaters is high compared to standard models, they can be cost effective. That is because the sun's energy is harnessed to reduce operating costs up to 90 percent. Solar water heating systems require a conventional water heater as a backup water heating source to ensure hot water is available when solar energy is not.

Solar Water Heaters from All Pro Plumbing Services qualify for rebates and incentive programs offered by local utilities, the State of Florida and the Federal government. See our conservation pages or check with your provider for program details.

Demand (Tankless) Water Heaters.
Water circulated through a large coil is heated only on demand using gas or electricity; there is no storage tank continuously maintaining hot water. A possible concern with this technology is the limitation on the number of fixtures that can simultaneously use hot water. However, there is an endless supply of hot water and standby losses are eliminated.

Heat Pump Water Heaters.
Heat pumps transfer energy from the surrounding air to the water in a storage tank water heater. These heat pump units are much more efficient than electric resistance water heaters and more effective in warm climates with long cooling seasons. You can purchase a heat pump unit to add to your existing tank-style water heater, or choose an inclusive unit if you need to replace an older water heater.
