No Chimney? No Problem. Meet Bradford White Power Vent Water Heater 

Need a water heater that works in basements, garages, or homes without a chimney? A Bradford White Power Vent Water Heater is designed just for that. These systems use a quiet, built-in fan to push exhaust gases out through a sidewall, giving you more flexibility in placement and a safer, more efficient way to heat water in Ontario homes. 

  

If you're wondering “Can I install a water heater without a chimney?” The answer is yes. Power vent models are the go-to solution. 

How Does a Power Vent Water Heater Work? 

Unlike traditional gas heaters that rely on natural draft venting, power vent water heaters use an electric fan to force combustion gases out through PVC or CPVC vent pipes, typically out the side of your home. This design: 

  

  • Allows for flexible placement even in tight spaces 
  • Prevents dangerous backdrafting 
  • Runs more quietly than conventional models 
  • Supports longer vent lengths (up to 100 feet depending on the unit) 

This makes them ideal for finished basements or homes without roof vent access. 

Choosing the Right Water Heater Starts with the Right Info

Which Is Better: Direct Vent Water Heater or Power Vent Water Heater? 

Direct vent and power vent water heaters serve different needs. Direct vent models pull in outdoor air and vent through a nearby wall, while power vent units use a fan to actively push exhaust out offering greater flexibility in placement and longer venting distances. If you don’t have an exterior wall nearby or need to vent farther, power vent is usually the better choice.

How Efficient Is a Power Vent Water Heater? 

Bradford White’s power vent heaters are built with energy efficiency in mind. Many models are ENERGY STAR® certified, which means they use less energy to deliver consistent hot water. Sealed combustion and enamel-lined tanks reduce standby heat loss and prevent corrosion, helping lower your monthly utility bills.

What’s the Life Expectancy of a Bradford White Power Vent Heater? 

With regular maintenance like annual flushing and vent cleaning most Bradford White power vent water heaters last 10 to 12 years. Their durable design and built-in safety features help maximize lifespan and minimize repairs.

How Long Does a Power Vent Water Heater Take to Heat Up? 

Power vent models heat water within 30–40 minutes depending on tank size. Bradford White’s high recovery rate ensures your family gets reliable hot water, even during peak usage.

Does a Power Vent Water Heater Run Continuously? 

No - these units only run the fan during the heating cycle. They do not operate continuously. This reduces wear on components and ensures quiet operation near living spaces.

Maintenance Tips For Your Power Vent Water Heater 

Wondering how often you should flush your water heater? For optimal performance: 

  

  • Flush the tank once a year to remove sediment  
  • Check the vent fan for blockages or dust 
  • Test the pressure relief valve annually
