• Which is more expensive?
• How much money will I save?
• Whats the difference?
• Does installation cost more?

Here are a few insights to the great water heater debate:

Tank vs. Tankless

Regular water heater tanks are created to keep your water hot for 24 hours a day, seven days a week even if youre not using the warm water. The more energy efficient approach would be a tankless water heater which only gets your water hot on demand.

Believe it or not, your tank style water heater causes you to loose 30% efficiency due to the constant heating and reheating of water all day every day. Your bills can definitely reflect this over time as well.

Even though the original cost of the tankless water heater is significantly more than a tank style heater, you end up saving up to 50% on your utility bill! You can even qualify for a Federal Tax Credit through Energy Star.

It seems as though tankless water heaters are no longer just a thing of the future. Theyre here and they seem like the best option for your water heating needs. Not to mention theyre compact! Who wants a bulky water heater hanging around the house?
