Get Hot Water NowWhen it's time to replace your water heater, there are two basic solutions— either a traditional tank water heater or a new high efficiency tankless model.
Tank water heaters are “always-on”—they operate all day, every day, keeping hot water stored at the pre-set temperature until it is needed. Most tank-style water heaters have a capacity of 40 to 50 gallons, which limits the amount of hot water that’s available at any given time.
Tankless water heaters operate “on-demand”—they heat water only when it is needed, providing an endless supply of hot water at a maximum flow of 5.1 gallons per minute with a 70-degree temperature range (from 70°F to 140°F). Tankless water heaters are best for larger households, multi-unit buildings and households that use a lot of hot water.
Water heaters account for nearly 17% of a home's energy use, consuming more energy than all other household appliances combined.
60% of water heater replacements are made during an emergency situation.
An Energy Star qualified water heater can save a household up to $285 a year on energy bills compared to a non-qualified model.
Tankless water heaters are only installed in about 4% of US homes, but are increasing in popularity every year.
Tankless water heaters are up to 34% more energy efficient than tank models.
A gas tankless water heater can pay for itself through energy savings in as little as 7 years.
