Tankless or Storage Tank?

There are two main uses for storage tank. The first is to provide storage capacity, while the second is to supply pressure to the distribution system. Depending on its location within the system and the type of arrangement, a tank can fulfill one or both purposes. There are numerous tank types and layouts to choose from.

When compared to lower efficiency options, a high efficiency tank water heater uses up to 8% less energy. Better insulation and more efficient components are used to save money. Overall, a tankless water heater uses less energy and costs less to operate.

We use hot water heater in winter while doing all household activities as cleaning washing dishes.  We install water heater tank to avoid cold.  Since water heating is expensive energy cost which accounts about 30% energy budget of home. So it is vital to choose the best water heater for your sweet home. Generally, there are two types of water heater found in the market [tank less and storage water heater].

According to Energy.gov, “demand (or tankless) water heaters can be 24 percent to 34 percent more energy efficient than conventional storage tank water heaters for homes that use 41 gallons or less of hot water daily.” Tankless water heaters (if gas-fired) will save homeowners over $100 annually the longer they remain in service. Tankless water heaters provide an infinite supply of hot water, take up less space, are safer, and have a substantially longer lifespan than traditional water heaters. The main downside of tankless water heaters is that they are more expensive up front (unit and installation) than tank-style heaters.

While purchasing the water heater for your home you need to consider both advantages and disadvantages of the water heater. Visit us during any issues.
