Hybrid Water Heaters

High Performance (Hybrid) Water heaters combine the best features of tankless water heaters with the benefits of a water heater tank:

  • A high output burner system provides plenty of hot water to meet almost any need
  • A small, heavily insulated tank ensures a ready supply of hot water right when you need it
  • Lower upfront cost than a tankless water heater
  • Low operating costs
  • Fits in the same space as most conventional water heater tanks
  • Typically does not require new gas piping, electrical service, or gas meter upgrades
  • Even works during a power outage (excluding power vent models)

This Energy Saver series water heater provides incredible hot water delivery from a space-saving, convenient package, and features:

  • 155 to 200 gallons of hot water in the first hour – enough hot water for garden tubs and body sprays in addition to whole house duty
  • High recovery of up to 86 gallons per hour for ongoing hot water needs
  • Integrated Mixing Device ensures a comfortable outlet temperature while providing a steady flow of hot water
  • Up to 2″ of non-CFC foam insulation provides 82% thermal efficiency for great energy savings
  • Fully automatic controls with temperature selection at your fingertips and built-in cut-off to prevent abnormally high water temperature for extra safety
  • Factory installed Hydrojet 2 Total Performance System helps prevent sediment buildup in the tank
  • Vitraglas ® lining protects the tank from the corrosive effects of hot water with an exclusive ceramic porcelain-like coating
  • Two Protective Magnesium Anode Rods – provide added protection against corrosion for long trouble-free service
  • Available in Natural Gas or Propane models
  • Works even in a power outage (excluding power-vent models)

You can even install an optional recirculating pump (not recommended for tankless water heaters) to speed up delivery of hot water, saving you water and wait time!

While Hybrid water heaters are a great option, they are not right for every application. They can have different venting requirements than standard tanks, and care must be taken to ensure proper sizing of water lines.

Hybrid Water Heaters FAQs​

A hybrid water heater combines a high-output burner system with a small, heavily insulated tank to give you the best of both worlds. You get the rapid heating power similar to tankless systems along with a ready reserve of hot water like traditional tanks. This design delivers exceptional performance—up to 200 gallons in the first hour—while maintaining lower operating costs and fitting in the same space as conventional tanks.
In most cases, no upgrades are needed. Hybrid water heaters typically fit in the same footprint as conventional tanks and don’t require new gas piping, electrical service upgrades, or gas meter changes. This makes installation simpler and more affordable compared to tankless systems, which often need significant infrastructure modifications.
Hybrid water heaters deliver between 155 to 200 gallons of hot water in the first hour, which is significantly more than standard tanks. The high recovery rate of up to 86 gallons per hour means you can run multiple showers, fill a garden tub, and handle whole-house hot water demands simultaneously without running out.
Yes, most hybrid water heaters will continue to operate during a power outage, with the exception of power-vent models. This is a significant advantage over tankless water heaters, which require electricity to function. You’ll still have access to hot water when you need it most, even during storms or electrical service interruptions.
Yes, hybrid water heaters offer excellent energy efficiency with up to 82% thermal efficiency thanks to up to 2 inches of non-CFC foam insulation. The combination of a high-performance burner and well-insulated tank means lower operating costs compared to standard tanks. You get better hot water delivery while using less energy, which translates to savings on your utility bills.
