Rating of the best gas water heaters for 2024

Today, traditional water heaters have faded into the background, and devices with indirect heating have taken the leading position. These models do not have their own heat source, therefore, auxiliary systems are used to heat water, such as a heating boiler, central heating, gas pipeline, etc. The review was made of popular gas water heaters in 2024 with their pros and cons, which, according to buyers, are considered effective and practical to operate.

General understanding of gas water heaters: selection criteria for devices

Gas water heaters are called columns. They are installed in homes where there is no constant hot water supply. These compact devices have become indispensable in summer cottages, private houses and even apartments. To figure out which unit is better to buy, you need to study the classification of gas columns. The table provides a brief overview of what gas water heaters are.

Table - "Types of gas columns"

Name:	Classification:	Description:
By control method:	mechanical	there are swivel levers
	electronic	control with buttons
By installation method:	floor	installed on the floor
	wall	mounted vertically to the wall
By water intake:	single phase;
	for two water intakes and above
By type of water storage:	flowing	direct water supply from the water supply
	accumulative	with own boiler
By firing up method:	piezo ignition	gas is ignited by pressing a button, heats up in a matter of seconds to the set temperature
	electric ignition	the spark is created from a device powered by a turbine that controls the water pressure
Combustion chamber:	open	oxygen is taken from the ambient air through special channels, removed through the chimney
	closed	closed area with a burner, where air is injected through a coaxial chimney and combustion products are disposed of

How to choose a gas water heater? What to look for, first of all, when buying a device:

• Number of internal elements: the simpler the structure, the easier it is to repair;
• Chimney type. Appliances are divided into three categories: 1. Chimney - combustion products go into the chimney. 2. Without a chimney - the columns have a tubular smoke exhauster, with the help of which the combustion products are removed outside. 3. Water heaters with special columns - remove waste products into the environment.
• It is important to ensure that all parts are included;
• Column dimensions and fastening method;
• Eyeliner: bottom or top;
• Which company is better;
• Management methods and functionality;
• Cost.

 

Selection Tips:

1. For apartments, it is better to choose small gas water heaters, small in size and performance, which will depend on water consumption.
2. For private houses and summer cottages, it would be nice to buy water floor columns.
3. Before buying, it is helpful to read customer reviews and view an overview of the selected installation.
4. It will be useful to listen to the recommendation of the store employee who will release your product.
5. Inexpensive gas water heaters can meet all expectations, therefore, the price-quality ratio in this case does not play a role as such.
