Oh where, oh where, did all my hot water go? And how long will it take to get it back? These are timeless questions for Orange, CT families in the morning. Find a comfortable seat, because you could be waiting up to 1 hr 20 min. for a fresh 40 gallon tank of hot water to be ready. Here’s some estimates:
- Gas Water Heater
- Gas heats up the fastest in a tank type water heater. It will get you ready for your shower in about 30-40 minutes.
- Electric Water Heater
- Sadly, electric is going to stretch that heating time out anywhere from 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes.
- Solar Water Heater
- Solar power is usually connected to an electric water heater. So, you are going to receive the same times as you would an electric powered water heater, 1 hour to 1 hour 20 min.
- Tankless Water Heater
- A tankless water heater heats the water as you need it. They’ve come a long way over the last few years, and can be a solution if you are constantly waiting for hot water from your conventional water heater.
