Bradford White – Atmospheric
Is a Bradford White Atmospheric water heater for you? Many homeowners are unaware of the fact that there are several different types of water heaters. For the most part, we know that our hot water heaters in Toronto are working when our showers are hot, and that they are faulty when we receive a blast of cold water. Atmospheric vents and power vent water heaters are two popular options on the market.
The average water heater unit lasts between eight to twelve years before it requires replacement. Usually, these devices will leak or stop heating the water to your preferred temperature before completely failing. This provides you with an opportunity to book a new water heater installation with Hoerner Heating & Plumbing.

New Water Heater Considerations
Many homeowners stick with the same type of water heater as the one they are replacing – oftentimes the exact same model. However, our households’ hot water needs change over time, and it is important to consider that when choosing a new hot water heater.
Proper maintenance ensures that your new water heater provides optimal value and efficiency. While choosing a new water heater, look at the sticker on the side of the unit which will provide information on the energy efficiency and annual cost of operation of the unit.
It is essential to use an approved installer who is manufacturer trained for all your installation, maintenance and water heater repairs.

What’s the difference?
Well, atmospheric vent water heaters require no moving parts or electric power, while vent water heaters make use of a fan to expel the excess gases from your home.
Venting water heaters come in a variety of styles, the most popular being power venting and atmospheric.
If a metal pipe rises from the top of your current water heater, it is likely an atmospheric unit. This is one of the oldest styles of water heaters on the market. The system heats fuel and uses that to warm the water. Excess gas is pushed upwards through the vent and removed from your home. However, enough fuel will remain in the tank once the water is heated. This creates sufficient pressure to expel the gases.
One of the main advantages of atmospheric water heaters is that it doesn’t require any electricity. That means your water will still be hot even in the event of a power outage.
