Gone are the days of using age-old water heating devices.Bosch has replaced these traditional water heaters with tank less water heating systems. Unlike the traditional heating systems, which consume gas or electricity, these devices use chemical called liquid propane? Now, the advantages of using liquid propane are many: 

a) Cost effective-it is cheaper to heat water as electricity costs are reduced and it is easy to install

b) No wastage of energy-as the heating is on demand there is no chance of water being re-heated repeatedly

C) compact-they do not require an enormous water tank or any other source of storing water

d) Prevents heat loss-as they do not require a reservoir there is no loss of heat 

Liquid propane heaters have many features: 

A) It heats 6.2 gallons per minute

b) Direct and sealed heating

c) Appropriate for domestic purpose in homes

d) Horizontal and vertical vents for overall heating

e) 12- yr warranty on heat exchanger and a 2 yr guarantee on parts

F) Available with a remote thermostat (TSTA2) to facilitate checking of the temperate of water digitally

G) The efficiency rating given to it is-87%

h) Compact and weighs 47 pounds

I) It has a valve to relieve pressure

j) It is approved by CSA 

While deciding to purchase a heater you have to keep in mind the size required as a small one may not fulfill the requirement of the whole house in which case multiple medium sized units can be installed in one central location or small units can be installed near every device that requires hot water however this will restrict the hot water only to that particular device only. The best option for a whole home is to install the Bosch Aqua star 2400E LP heater. However as it is an instant way of heating and there is no ready hot water, it takes a little time before hot water can be used which is perhaps the only drawback it has, to reduce this place the heater as close to the devices as possible. The heating also depends on the temperature of the ground water, as there is no stored water in tankers; hence, if the ground water is cold it will take more time to heat and it will consume more energy.

Hence, looking into all factors one can decide the size and type of Liquid propane water heater one wants to install.
