Because natural gas is subject to availability (not all areas are connected or can be connected to piped-in public utility services), homeowners turn to propane (also known as LPG or liquid petroleum gas) tankless water heaters for their homes’ water heating needs. Fortunately, we only carry water heaters in models that use natural gas and propane, so with Sylvan it is not either/or it is both.

Gas companies supply them to homes to fill the various household needs, from water heating, to cooking, to clothes drying.
