Traditional vs. Tankless Water Heaters
Choosing a water heater for your property depends on its size and the amount of water you generally use. A traditional water heater utilizes a large storage tank of 50 gallons or more that is continuously heated. While this capacity can usually meet an entire household’s needs, someone may, unfortunately, become the victim of a cold shower when the heated water is depleted. Typically, a traditional water heater lasts for about ten years before it’s time to consider a replacement.
An alternative option that many homeowners are turning to is a tankless water heater, which heats water as it passes through a pipe, eliminating the need for a bulky water storage container. While the idea of a tankless water heater may sound perfect, it might not be right for everyone. The initial installation cost can be an investment; however, the overall benefits outweigh the cost of installation for many.
Some of the attractions of a tankless water heater include:
- Saving property owners hundreds in utility bills over the years
- Providing energy-efficient operation
- Offering environmentally friendly benefits
- Offering a longer lifespan than a traditional water heater
- Increasing property value
- Requiring very little space
- Decreasing the risk of water damage
There are three primary types of tankless water heaters: gas-powered, propane-powered, and electric-powered. Regardless of the kind of tankless water heater you need, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of St. George has the skills and knowledge to help you make the most informed decision.
