Should you decide to use one of the gas-powered types you will need to
consider the gas type and venting requirements. You will need to know
whether you have natural gas or propane and it is very important that

through the wall or the ceiling and make sure you have an acceptable
clearance and plenty of air for the combustion; then you will be able to
choose the appropriate gas venting pieces. Another important note is
that gas heaters may still require a minimal electric connection, so be
sure to read the requirements for any units you are considering.

maintenance periodically and you can extend its life and efficiency for
years to come. A tankless water heater installation can save you money
on energy and replacement cost.
