Giant water heaters for home use are available in several groups and sizes, from the small point-of-use tank-type and tankless – design to the large, whole-house units.

Smaller models are recommended for places that lack space, apartments, cottages, offices... while the larger ones are for families of two/three members and up, and can be installed in garages, basements, attics, crawl space, and utility rooms.

Electric-powered models

Electric water heaters from Giant come in sizes from as low as 2 gallons to the popular 60-gal units. The most advanced and highest performing units belong to the Cascade and Super Cascade series EcoPeak technology.

These heaters are known as the conventional models – cylindrical-shaped units that utilize a metal tank to store hot water.

Gas-powered models

Giant gas water heaters are designed as floor-standing tank-type and wall-mounted tankless models heating water on demand and providing continuous hot water supply as long as needed.

As some of the top North American manufacturers of water heating appliances, Giant also offers a hybrid model, a high-performing unit that combines a tank-type and tankless technology into one system, resulting in better recovery and efficiency.

Gas vs. electric comparison

As opposed to the electric models and its simple design, gas water heaters are more advanced and complex and based on the type; they use different venting solutions; atmospheric, direct, or power vents.

Some of the great advantages (some models) include high efficiency and great savings. Those models with the energy factor of 0.67 for the tank-type and over 0.9 for the tankless are Energy Star compliant and what you should aim for.
