Tank Or Tankless Water Heaters Which is Really Better?

There are new options available, if you are in the market for hot water heater installation. There is the old familiar standby of a tank water heater, however there are now tankless water heaters available, for both electric or gas hook-ups. With both options available, it is best to explore the features of each type, so that you may make an informed decision and share it with your local Atlanta Plumber . Most people will combine two or three of a products best features in order to make a final decision. Those are typically efficiency, cost and climate of where the resident lives.

Standard tank hot water heaters vary between manufacturer, and oftentimes the model, but they share many common features, and possible problems that might arise down the road. Tank heaters will have fewer costs as they're the simplest to install, and replace. They can also be placed anywhere in the home, like a basement or even an attic. If you lose electricity for a long period of time, you can drain your tank for a supply of water. However, your tank can run out of water, and there are more costs involved, down the line with energy bills due to heat loss, usage, and unstable temperature controls. You also have the possibility of leaking 30 gallons or more of water if it breaks leading to not only water loss, but your tank will attempt to refill and reheat the water.

As with tank heaters, tankless hot water heaters will vary slightly depending upon the model, or make you are currently looking at. Tankless hot water heaters will offer the user more energy savings over time by reducing energy bills by as much as 40%, though most average savings are slightly less. You are also given an endless supply of hot water, as it is heated on demand, no one will need to take a cold shower. Since it only runs when needed, this is where the owner can save the most money, and of course energy. Tankless models are also wall mounted, and require very little space. However, tankless heaters are not without faults, and first is the upfront price. This is because you will need to have an all new set-up installed by your Atlanta Plumber , since hook-ups were all designed for tank hot water heater installation . Also most models will require electricity to operate, and improperly treated water can cause damage that leads to scaling, which can slow water flow.

Both tank, and tankless models have pros and cons, so it will be up to each individual to know what better suits them. Some consumers love the fact that a tankless heater is very eco-friendly, while other consumers view a tank heater to be more time tested choice. If you have any questions about which is better for your home, you may also consult your local professional plumber for more information.
