Which Type of Water Heater is Best?

Today's water heaters are convenient and intuitive. Once installed, they run almost entirely without human intervention. Several options are available for homeowners in the Greenfield IN and New Castle IN. Rest assured, when helping you choose the right water heater for you, it's hard to beat the plumbing experts at Jake's Heating, Air and Plumbing.

Is it Time to Upgrade to a Tankless Water Heater?

Well, it depends; let's go over the differences.

They're both excellent options - it's a matter of which is best for your home and needs.

Most homes in Greenfield IN and the surrounding area have standard water heaters typically found in your utility closet or garage. The tank stores 40-60 gallons of hot water, ready for you to use. After you use the hot water, the tank fills with cold water, which gets heated up in preparation for the next time it is needed. This is why after taking a long, steamy, hot shower, you may run out of hot water and have to wait for more to be available.

A tankless water heater doesn't store hot water but heats water on demand. When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water travels through your pipes into the unit and gets heated as it passes through. This process is fast, so tankless water heaters deliver an almost never-ending hot water supply, which is great for large families. No more fighting for who gets in the shower first. Plus, they are considerably smaller and take less room. So, they are a great option when space is limited.

Standard vs. Tankless Water Heaters

Let’s Compare…

• Cost: Typically, a conventional water heater is less expensive to purchase and install than a tankless unit. However, with proper maintenance, a tankless water heater can last longer.
• Space Concerns are an Issue: Are you running out of places to store things? Could you use a free corner? For those who live in cramped homes, swapping out a tanked unit for a tankless one is a great way to reclaim lost space.
• High Demand: You may have a large family or just need a lot of hot water daily. A bigger tank water heater (we can get them up to 75 gallons) or a tankless water heater may be your best bet.
• Dual approach: Sometimes, having both systems is the best solution. A conventional water heater is used for part of the house, and a tankless water heater is used for specific areas and needs.
