A leaking water heater can seem like a scary thing, especially when flooding is a possibility. If your water heater is leaking or it runs out of hot water after a short use, our technicians will do their best to repair it, however, it may be time to replace it. If so, there are multiple, high-efficiency water heater options available including Tank-Style, Tankless, or Heat Pump Water Heaters.
When choosing a replacement water heater, there are a few things to consider before purchasing. Our technicians will look at how much space is available and your power/fuel source. Whether it is electric, gas, or oil.
TANK-STYLE WAter heaters
This style is the most common water heater out of all of them. Water is stored in the body of tank readily available for use. The typical gallon amount for residential use varies from 50 to 80 gallons. Tank-style water heaters make use of electricity, natural gas, or oil as their source of heating the contained water.
Pros:
Sufficient Water Storage to Supply Multiple Hot Water Points of Use At Once
Cons:
Can Be Cumbersome in Applications Where Space is Limited
Tankless water heaters
Just as the name describes, this type of water heater does not have a storage tank to hold the water. But, this does not stop the unit from providing hot water when needed. These units utilize natural gas (or propane) as a heating source. Tankless water heaters are very compact and, for a smaller living space or lighter demand, can greatly reduce your water heating expenses. The downside, a tankless water heater may not be the right match to supply multiple points of hot water usage at once.
Pros:
Compact, Highly Efficient, Continuous On-Demand Hot Water Supply
Cons:
Struggles in Living Spaces With Multiple Points of Hot Water Use
Heat pump water heaters
Heat Pump water heaters are another type of tank-style water heater. These units make use of a top-mounted air-source, pulling heat from the surrounding air and transfers it, at a higher temperature, to heat the water located in the storage tank. A heat pump water heater is more expensive than a tank-style water heater, but can be about twice as efficient.
Pros:
Sufficient Water Storage to Supply Multiple Hot Water Points of Use At Once, Highly Efficient
Cons:
Higher Up Front Cost to Purchase Than Other Styles
