What is a power vent water heater?

A power vent water heater is a type of a heater that utilizes exhaust from the home's existing plumbing system. Unlike a typical water heater that only supplies hot water, a power vent water heater saves energy and promotes improved air quality and pressure within a house.

A power vent water heater runs on combustion air from the house and requires an electrical connection. Power vent water heaters are more flexible in their placement, and less expensive to install if they don’t have to conform to fitting into a chimney. They save energy and offer improved air quality to customers.
