Water Heater Tank vs Tankless Water Heater

11/9/2017

1 Comment

 
With the low temperatures, hot water is something you cannot compromise on. People often get confused when it comes to choosing a water heater for their home. When choosing a water heater, it is necessary to understand what will work best for your requirement. You could choose a tankless heater or a hot water tank. To help you choose wisely, here are a few point highlighting the difference between water heater tank vs tankless water heater.
water heater tank vs tankless
Lifespan
Tankless water heaters have a longer lifespan. They can last for more than 20 years if maintained properly.

Hot water tanks have a comparatively short lifespan. They last for 10 to 15 years on an average. 

Size
Tankless water heaters, also known as on-demand water heaters provide hot water from flowing water as and when received. Since they do not store hot water, they do not have a tank. This automatically makes them compact in size. The compact size makes them a less space consuming equipment.

Hot water tanks, on the other hand, store the hot water in a tank to be used later. The tanks are insulated and have a heating equipment to keep the stored water hot. Although these tanks occupy more space, they are ideal for areas which do not receive continuous water supply.

Cost
Although tankless water heaters save money in the long run, they cost a little more than hot water tank heater due to the high-efficiency elements which eventually help you save up on the energy cost. The benefit of a hot water tank is that it costs less as compared to a tankless hot water.

Efficiency
Tankless water heaters do not store hot water but provide hot water as and when required. Since there is no hot water to be stored and preserved, tankless heaters don’t use extra energy. This makes a tankless water heater more energy efficient.

Hot water tanks, on the other hand, have to run full time to keep the stored water hot. This means that more amount of energy is utilized by a hot water tank compared to a tankless water heater. 

Accessibility 
A tankless water heater is a good option for a household which has continuous water supply as it heats water on demand. However, on a day if the household does not receive water, they will have no hot water availability.

A hot water tank is a good option for a household which has lack of continuous water supply as hot water tanks store hot water and supplies it whenever you want it.

You just cannot buy any water heater for your home. Take into consideration the above-mentioned points of water heater tank vs tankless water heater to take a sound decision. To get your new water heater installed and to get your plumbing system inspected, get in touch with the experts of plumbing in Edmonton.
