Tank vs. Tankless Water Heaters in Central Florida

Benefits of Tank Water Heaters

While traditional water heaters use up a lot of energy to keep an entire tank of water warm, the newer tank models have features that make them more efficient, such as more insulation and improvements in design. If your household is small, installing a new tank water heater may be your best option because these models tend to be less expensive and easier to install than tankless models. You can also look for more energy–saving features when you are comparing the different models, such as models with timers and vacation settings, which allow you to turn off the hot water thermostat to save energy while you are away.

Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters

For larger households with a greater demand for hot water, tankless water heaters may be the best choice for your next Orlando water heater installation. These models supply the hot water directly to the fixture or faucet while it is in use, which saves energy compared to the constant energy it takes to heat a large tank of water.

While the initial cost of a tankless water heater may be more than a traditional tank–style heater, the energy and money you will save in the end will pay for the investment over time. The standard tankless water heater typically supplies hot water at a rate of 2 to 5 gallons per minute, and gas tankless models usually provide a higher flow rate than electric ones. However, using several applications at once, such as running the shower and washing machine at the same time, may not supply enough hot water for each appliance.

Because of these limits, it is important to properly size your tankless model. The size of any tankless water heater will be based on the output, so it’s best to speak with a professional before you purchase one. You’ll want to make sure the unit you choose has an output that matches your hot water demands. Call our water heater specialists if you have questions about size or the benefits you can get from installing a new tankless water heater.
