Gas vs. Electric vs. Heat Pump: Which Water Heater Is Right for You?
Gas Water Heaters
Gas-fueled water heaters are a common choice in Ottawa due to comparatively lower operating costs.
If you already have a gas line, a gas hot water tank can be a very efficient solution, and it often heats water faster than electric models. However, the upfront cost may be higher, and you need adequate venting—either through a chimney (atmospheric vent) or through sidewall venting (power vent).
Electric Water Heaters
Electric water heaters operate solely on electricity, making them a popular option where gas lines are not readily available. They’re generally less expensive to purchase and install, and they don’t require a vent. On the downside, you may see higher monthly utility bills, depending on local electricity rates.
If reducing your carbon footprint is a priority and your grid uses cleaner energy, an electric tank might be the right fit.
Heat Pump Water Heaters
These systems use heat pump technology to pull warmth from the surrounding air (or outside air, depending on the model) to heat the water.
Heat pump water heaters can be up to four times more efficient than standard electric tanks, dramatically lowering your utility costs. While they tend to have a higher initial price, rebates and incentives may help offset the costs.

How Often Should I Replace My Water Heater?
Many hot water tanks can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. Insurance companies often recommend replacement at the 10-year mark to reduce the risk of leaks and resulting water damage.
At AirZone HVAC Services, we typically advise our clients to start considering a new hot water tank if their current system is 12 years or older—or if it’s showing signs of wear, like rust, sediment buildup, or inconsistent heating.
- Atmospheric Vent Tanks: These use a chimney to expel flue gases and are usually the most budget-friendly option. However, they also tend to have minimum efficiency ratings.
- Power-Vented Water Heaters: These are vented through plastic pipes and can be more efficient than atmospheric-vent models, although they require a bit more upfront investment.
- Electric Water Heaters: These store and heat water using only electricity. They are inexpensive to purchase and install, but can be more costly to operate over time.
- Heat Pump Water Heaters: The most efficient type if your home and budget allow for it.
