In order to choose the best water heater for your needs, you’ll want to consider:
- The type of heater – Conventional or tankless
- The energy source – Gas, electricity, solar, geothermal, etc
- The size – Based on your household usage
- The cost – Purchase cost and operating cost
We don’t expect you to know all this before you call us. We’ll help guide you.
Benefits of buying a tankless water heater
A tankless water heater works by heating water instantaneously as you need it, rather than storing it and keeping it hot. The benefits of tankless water heaters include:
- Energy efficient
- Long-lasting
- No stand-by heat loss
Benefits of buying a conventional water heater
Standard water heaters work by storing 30-50 gallons of preheated water ready to use at all times. The benefits of standard water heaters include:
- Lower initial cost
- Easy repair
- Lower cost for parts
Although there are other types of water heaters, these are the most commonly used. If you’re interested in solar, geothermal, or propane water heaters, just ask us. We’re happy to help answer all your questions and get your new water heater installed.
Of course, after you choose the type of water heater you want, you’ll also need to start looking at the brands.
