Efficient Propane Water Heating with Flexible Side Venting 

Need a reliable propane water heater for your Ontario home or cottage? Bradford White power vent propane water heaters are the perfect solution when chimney venting isn’t available. These models use a powered fan system to vent combustion gases through the side wall of your home giving you more freedom in where and how you install them. 

  

Whether you're off-grid, switching from electric, or replacing an old propane tank, Bradford White delivers consistent hot water with safety, performance, and durability in mind. 

  

If you're searching “best propane water heater without chimney” or “can I install a propane tank water heater in a basement?” This is exactly what you’re looking for. 

How Power Vent Propane Water Heater Work?

Power vent systems use a blower motor to push exhaust gases horizontally through PVC or CPVC pipes, instead of relying on a vertical chimney. This gives you more installation options including basements, closets, garages, and utility rooms. 

  

Bradford White’s propane power vent models are factory-tuned for propane fuel and include: 

  

  • Quiet, high-efficiency blower motors 
  • Advanced safety features like FVIR (Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistance) 
  • Vitraglas® tank lining for corrosion resistance 
  • Optional side taps for space heating applications (on select models) 
  • Reliable pilot or electronic ignition 

Why Choose Bradford White Propane Models with Power Venting? 

These units are ideal for: 

  

  • Homes or cottages using propane as the primary fuel source 
  • Off-grid properties or areas without natural gas access 
  • Installations without chimneys or vertical flue options 
  • Ontario homeowners looking for energy-efficient water heating 

  

Power vent propane heaters provide strong recovery rates and steady hot water output. They're especially useful in cold climates where consistent propane heat is a must. And Bradford White’s field-proven durability means your system is built to last even in challenging conditions.
