Tank vs. Tankless Water Heaters
If you’re debating about whether or not to switch from a tank to a tankless water heater, let us assist you in making that decision. We have helped numerous customers get efficient and plentiful hot water in their homes. Here is a quick comparison between the two types of systems.
- Tank Hot Water Heaters: Tank water heaters are ideal for homes that need a lot of hot water. If you have children or teenagers then you’re likely doing more dishes and more laundry. The demand for that much hot water could overwhelm a tankless system. However, tank water heaters typically use more energy because they have to maintain a reservoir of hot water, and standby energy loss from the water through the tank can occur.
- Tankless Water Heaters: Tankless water heaters are able to reduce the amount of energy that you use to heat water because they only heat the water when it is needed. Tankless water heaters are generally more expensive to purchase. However, they are very efficient and have longer lifespans, meaning that you can recoup your investment over time before enjoying further energy savings.
