What Are the Different Types of Water Heaters?
There are two main types of water heaters, each with unique advantages and drawbacks. Conventional systems have tanks that hold and heat water, so it’s available for use at any time. However, they run out after a while, and require more electricity since they must continuously heat a tank of water. Some homeowners prefer tankless systems because they heat water continuously.
With a tankless water heater, you can also save space and energy. These compact units heat the water as it flows through the system. Since they don’t store water, there’s no need to constantly warm it. Tankless water heaters cost more to install but can save you money on your monthly bills. Also, they require less maintenance. Despite their many benefits, tankless systems aren’t suitable for every home. The team at Pacific Plumbing & Rooter Inc can help you determine the best system for your property based on peak usage, flow rate, and other factors.
