There are a variety of water heaters available, but the two main types are storage tank water heaters and tankless water heaters. Most water heaters installed today are storage tank water heaters, but tankless heaters are becoming more and more popular.

If you have a large family that needs multiple streams of hot water at a time, then a storage tank heater is your best bet. However, if you have a smaller family, and would like the convenience of having non-stop hot water on demand, then check out a tankless system.

A water heater is a big investment and depending on the size and type of water heater you want, it can mean a large expense out of your pocket. While a typical water heater installation can cost between $300-$3,500, the good news is that most Energy Star water heaters are eligible for a tax credit that can soften the blow.

It’s best to call a water heater repair service and get their advice before you make your purchase.

Considering the average water heater lasts 10-12 years, it is advisable to replace them before they start leaking to save you the headache of repairing water damages!

Annual water heater flushes are offered in our annual maintenances and highly recommended. During an annual examination, we also inspect the anode rod and T&P safety valve to ensure your water heater is operating safely and properly.

The answer is: It depends on what are your needs and what size family you have. The fact of the matter is that tankless water heaters are more efficient than storage tank water heaters and will save you money on your energy bills. Estimates say that homeowners who have a tankless system use 40 gallons less of hot water per day than their storage tank counterparts. However, tankless water heaters are ‘output challenged’ which means they aren’t good at supplying multiple hot water streams at high flow rates simultaneously.
