Upgrading to a Tankless Water Heater

Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, which means they don’t store hot water in a tank. They heat water directly without using a storage tank, ensuring that gallons of water are heated swiftly on demand. This attribute significantly reduces your water heater’s energy usage, contributing to better water heater’s energy efficiency. 

​

When deciding between a tank and tankless water heater, be sure to think about your hot water usage, space limitations, and budget.

 

The good news is— water heaters last quite a while. A tank water heater usually lasts 8-12 years, while the tankless option typically lasts up to 20 years.
