Water Heating Heating hot water with natural gas is more economical than heating with oil or electricity. If your business uses hot water for sanitizing equipment, preparing/serving food, car washes, or coin laundries, natural gas is an ideal fuel source. The basic types of gas-fired water heaters are automatic storage heaters, instantaneous heaters, booster water heaters and circulating water heaters. You should consider sizing, venting and your existing equipment when deciding what kind of system to use.
