performance.By reviewing American electric water heaters we will see that there is a wide selection and variety of sizes; from 2.5 gallon Tiny Titan model to 119 gallon Standard tank type.
American gas water heaters tank type models that are available on the market are from 30 gallon capacity like Proline Flame Guard to 100 gallon size like Polaris high efficiency models. Several of the most common 40 and 50 gallon sizes are Energy Star qualified.
For consumers who prefer hot water on demand, there are four high efficient American tankless water heater models, and we will review them also.
American Electric Model Reviews
When selecting electric water heaters, keep in mind next: if your family size is from 3-4 with a regular to low demand, the most used tank size is 50 gallon capacity. If your family is consisted of over five family members, you should consider models from 80 to 120 gallons to meet high demand.
The above recommendation is calculated with the assumption that a person needs 3 gallons per minute for shower. Another factor you should consider is the recovery rate; higher better.
Low Boy series from the American company are for domestic water heating with four models to offer; 19, 30, 40 and 50 gallon tank capacity. Low Boy models are short in size with an average height of 31" or 790 mm giving them a great advantage over higher models, when installation requires small and confined space.
Limited warranty of 6 years is available.
American water heater from Standard series is the most versatile group of heating units, designed to meet demand from smaller to larger homes and family sizes. All the models are standard in height (tall); 30 gallon tank size is the smallest unit you can buy while 119 gallon tank is the largest. Limited warranty is available for all units and the American heating company offers 6, 9 and 12 years.
If you own a mobile home or live in manufacturing housing, you can select one of two American hot water heaters; 30 or 40 gallons tank size.
Utility series are for point of use applications, for remote sinks or baths and for low hot water needs. There are 3 available models with 6, 12 and 20 gallon capacity.
American Water Heater Company also produces models for special applications. If you have a solar heating system you can combine it with 80 and 119 gallons solar-electrical water tank using factory installed solar circulation connections.
For remote sinks, garage or offices, 2.5 gallons Tiny Titan as the smallest unit can ideally meet your needs for hot water. On the other hand, if there is no designated room for any of the free standing units, one of the options is to use a table top electric water heater in your kitchen, and take the advantage of the extra counter top space.
American Gas Model Reviews
When selecting an American gas water heater, keep in mind next: if your family size is up to five members with a regular to low demand, the most used tank size is 50 gallon gas unit. If there is a need for high demand of hot water for over 3 members of family, you should consider models with the tank over 50 gallons capacity. Gas pipeline and vent size should be designed according to the heater BTU input.
American water heater direct vent Proline models come in two sizes, 40 and 50 gallon and with next vent installation options; vertical through the roof or horizontal through the outside wall. The air for combustion is drawn from the outside.
Ultra high recovery Proline comes with the highest tank size available of 75 and 100 gallons, and Utra Low NOx with 30, 40 and 50 gal. capacity, one and two inch insulation for reducing a heat loss.
With seven models to choose from, American hot water heater Proline Flame Guard models offer 30, 40 and 50 gallon tank size, and 6, 9 and 12 limited warranty. These models use the single-pipe vent to remove products of combustion and inside air for gas combustion; sufficient air supply should be provided.
For mobile / manufactured housing you can install 30 and 40 gallon atmospheric type heaters and 40 gal. Proline sealed combustion water heater with through the roof vent.
If you prefer using an instant and endless hot water without worrying how much water is left in the tank, the right solution for your home is tankless technology. American tankless water heater is small, reliable and long lasting unit with high performance and much better energy efficiency than a tank unit.
Popular Polaris water heaters are high efficiency models with over 95% thermal efficiency, built in two sizes; 34 and 50 gallon enough to supply middle size homes and provide space heating as well. These superb stainless steel tank heaters are very durable, with ultra-low gas emission.
American hot water heaters, PowerFlex series is consisted of power direct vent heaters with 40 and 50 gal. tanks and venting options through the roof or outside wall; 75 gal. unit power vented through the wall; and 40 and 50 power vent models that are Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant compliant.
