Traditional Tank Water Heaters

Variations of these systems have been around since the 1800s. Essentially, a large tank or reservoir holding up to 50 gallons of water is installed somewhere in your home and is filled to capacity.

Within the tank is a heat source, which is usually powered by electricity or by natural gas. This heat sources works non-stop to keep the entire reservoir of standing water heated to a specified temperature, usually 120F or less.

 

Some benefits of traditional water heaters are:

  • Inexpensive
  • Easy Installation
  • Easily adapted

When someone in the household takes a shower, or washes a load of clothes some amount of hot water is then used for said activity and must then be refilled and the entire amount of water reheated to the threshold temperature. This means that regardless of where you are or what you are doing, your water heater is constantly keeping a set amount of water heated to a set temperature waiting to be used.

TANKLESS WATER HEATERS

While the idea of the tankless water heater has been around probably as long as the traditional tank systems, it has only been in recent years that the operations of these system became more sophisticated and mainstream. A tankless system is essentially a computer that is mounted on the wall, inside are sensors and chips that tell the system when to turn on and heat water. When the hot water faucet is engaged the tankless system senses this and turns on, it routes water through pipes that have been heated and thus heats the water. This process enables 2 to 3 gallons of water to be heated each minute, until the hot water faucet is turned off. When there is not a need for hot water by a member of the household, the tankless system sits dormant and does not use any energy or water. This makes them highly energy efficient. In fact, a tankless water heater can save a homeowner no less than $100 per year on their energy bill.

Some of the benefits of tankless water heaters are:

  • Convenience
  • Eco-friendly
  • Durability
  • Clean and Safe

Also, many tankless systems provide rebates and tax breaks for energy efficiency. While the initial investment to purchase and install a tankless water heating system is substantial, the long-term cost savings is worth it for most people.
