Andersen Oil Company is Groton, Mystic and Norwich, CT's source for heating oil and home heating oil delivery. While these systems are often used to provide warmth for a home, they can also be used for heating water. These water heaters have benefits over traditional water heaters, as well as new tankless systems.

Residential oil water heaters work in a way that allows for fast replenishment of hot water, though some types are more energy efficient than others:

• Direct: Direct-heat oil water heaters consist of a water storage tank situated on top of a combustion chamber. The flame is located in the combustion chamber and is exposed directly to the storage tank. These models are very effective at keeping an endless supply of hot water on hand, but they may use more energy than expected.
• Indirect: Indirect oil water heaters rely on a boiler to heat water supplies, but how they do that differs between models. Internal coil models are located inside the boiler in the water jacket. External tankless coils are located in a water storage tank that is touching the boiler. Aqua boosters are similar to traditional water heaters in that heated water is stored in a vertical tank and held for future use.

Home heating oil is a less expensive option to either gas or electricity. It’s an affordable alternative, and when paired with the right appliances, it offers affordable solutions to today’s financially savvy property owners.
