Not sure which water heater to choose? DRF Water Heating Solutions can help you select the perfect model to fit your lifestyle, then deliver and install it same-day.
When 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.
