Hot Water Heaters Installed, Repaired & Maintained by Experts Who Care

• How They Work: These units store and heat water in an insulated tank, typically ranging from 20 to 80 gallons. They continuously heat the water to maintain a set temperature, ensuring a ready supply.
• Energy Considerations: Tank heaters constantly maintain the water temperature, which can lead to standby heat loss. Look for models with good insulation and energy-saving modes.
• Longevity and Cost: Generally less expensive than tankless models, they have a lifespan of about 8-12 years. Regular maintenance can extend this period.
• Space Requirements: They require more space due to the tank, making them less suitable for smaller homes or apartments.

Tankless water heaters, known for their efficiency and compact design, offer a modern approach to water heating. Here’s why they might be the right choice for you:

• Operation: They heat water directly without a tank. When you turn on the tap, cold water travels through a pipe and is heated by either a gas burner or electric element.
• Energy Efficiency: By heating water on demand, they eliminate the standby energy loss associated with tank heaters. This can lead to significant energy savings over time.
• Lifespan and Cost: While more expensive upfront, they typically last longer than tank models, with lifespans of up to 20 years. They also take up less space, making them ideal for smaller homes or apartments.
• Output Limitations: One consideration is their flow rate limitation. If multiple taps are used simultaneously, it may exceed the heater's capacity to supply hot water.
