Comparing Tankless And Traditional Water Heaters

Masters Heating & Cooling knows what it’s like to replace a water heater. Trying to decide which option to get for your home can feel a little overwhelming. There are two types of water heater systems popular today: traditional and tankless.

A tankless water heater could be a better fit if you’re limited on space and your Indianapolis home would have an endless supply of hot water. They’re able to deliver hot water without taking a long time to warm it up.

Tankless Systems Use Less Space

Apartments and condos don’t always have enough space for a traditional water heater. Tankless systems are great because they’re half the size of most traditional units.

You can get one that’s large enough for a two-bath house, and it’ll use less room than a traditional system. Usually, you can put one of them in the garage and still have room left to park.

You’ll Only Have 2-5 Gallons Of Hot Water Per Minute

Tankless water heaters have one downside, though. You’ll never get as much hot water out of them as you’d get from a traditional system.

An average tankless unit can heat up to 41 gallons of water every day, although sizes vary. If your family needs more than 41 gallons of heated water, you’ll need a storage tank.

Using A Tankless System Could Reduce Your Utility Bill

Masters Heating & Cooling loves how much more efficient tankless systems can be. If your home has gas, installing a tankless system will cost less over time. Using one to heat your home’s water can save you up to 30% compared to a traditional system.

Our plumbing repair team could help you see if installing one would make sense for you. You’d see smaller utility bills once the new system has a spot on the wall. Tankless systems don’t have to keep a tank warm all day long, meaning you’ll spend less.
