Tank vs. Tankless Water Heaters
Choosing between a storage tank and a tankless water heater requires you to assess your home’s setup and hot water habits. Compare each option to help you decide what suits your needs best.
Benefits of Tank Water Heaters
- Lower upfront cost: Traditional water heaters are less expensive to purchase and install. If you’re looking for a cost-effective option upfront, a tank system could be a good fit.
- Simple installation: Since storage tanks are more common, you shouldn’t need to upgrade your plumbing or electrical systems.
- Higher flow rate: If your home uses a lot of hot water at once, a traditional water heater can keep up better. Stored hot water provides a higher flow rate, allowing multiple showers or plumbing appliances to run simultaneously without being lukewarm.
Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters
- Hot water on demand: Tankless systems only heat water when needed. This allows your family to take endless back-to-back showers without worrying about running out of hot water.
- Compact, space-saving design: Wall-mounted tankless units are about the size of a carry-on suitcase, freeing up valuable floor space in homes with limited square footage.
- Energy efficiency that pays off: No tank means no standby heat loss, resulting in noticeably lower water heating bills. The less hot water you use, the more drastic your savings.
- Longer lifespan: Tankless models last up to 20 years with proper maintenance, compared to the 10- to 12-year lifespan you can expect from a standard tank.
- Reduced risk of leaks or water damage: A leaking storage tank can spill 30 to 50 gallons of water or more into your home. Tankless units have no big reservoir, so the chance of major flooding due to equipment failure is much lower.
