With Water Heaters, You’ll Never Have a Cold Shower, Unless You Want To
A fundamental part of the home HVAC system, water heaters serve the basic function of heating up water to be delivered to areas of your home when needed. We often don’t look at a hot water tank as needing to be replaced unless it’s not working, but with the latest models of hot water tanks, the difference in performance and economical savings really make it worthwhile to consider a more efficient piece of equipment.
You might just be surprised at how soon the savings will pay for the investment.

Ottawa Gas Water Heaters
Here at Stan’s, we offer many types of water heaters including natural draft, power vented, direct vent, and tankless. We carry many types of water heaters in many different sizes to ensure we have the type that works best for you. See below for the types of water heaters we offer from our trusted network of suppliers.
Atmospheric or Natural Draft Gas Water Heater
The Atmospheric or Natural Draft style of water heater is designed to operate with your existing working chimney. These are commonly found in older homes that used a chimney for the furnace and fireplace.
- Ranges in size from 30 US Gallon to 75 US Gallon.
- Energy Factor rating is ~0.60.
- No electricity required as it uses a standing pilot.
- Almost silent operation.
- Commercial grade glass liner and single anode for corrosion resistance.
Power Vented Gas Water Heaters
The Power Vented style of water heater is the standard for most homes today. These water heaters use plastic venting to be able to exhaust burned natural gas to the side of the home and these are the most commonly found type of water heater in Ottawa homes today.
- Ranges in size from 40 US Gallon to 75 US Gallon.
- Hi Input models available for homes with the need for more hot water.
- Energy Factor rating is 0.70.
- These units require power to operate the ignition and the inducer motor on the top of the tank.
- Flexible venting options allow this unit to be placed just about anywhere in the home with up to 125’ of plastic venting.
- Commercial grade glass liner and single anode for corrosion resistance.
Direct Vent Gas Water Heaters
The Direct-Vent style of water heater is not that common, but quite necessary in some homes. It uses a concentric vent kit that allows the water heater to terminate without a chimney and without the need for electricity.
- These come in 40 US Gallon and 50 US Gallon.
- The energy Factor rating is ~0.62.
- Can be installed in places that other types of water heaters cannot as they use no ambient room air.
- Terminate using a concentric vent much like a gas fireplace.
- Requires no power and uses a standing pilot.
- Commercial grade glass liner and single anode for corrosion resistance.
