Will a propane water heating system provide warm water faster than other energy options?

Yes. Propane tankless water heaters provide an endless supply of hot water, averaging over 200 gallons/hour. Conversely, the average 50-gallon electric storage tank water heater has an average first-hour delivery rating of just 64 gallons, while a 50-gallon heat pump water heater averages about 67 gallons. These flow rates are less than one-third of the delivery rate for propane tankless systems.
