Traditional Tank Water Heaters
A tank water heater is pretty much just like it sounds. It has a vertical tank that must be installed and then filled with 20 to 50 gallons of water. These traditional units are much more common in homes throughout California because they have been available for many years and are relatively inexpensive. The water inside of the tank is always kept full and always kept heated to a specific temperature. While there are recommendations for what that temperature should be, it is ultimately the homeowner’s decision.
Some reasons to have a conventional water heater include:
- Inexpensive
- Easy Installation
- Easily adapted
The tank has a heat source inside, which is usually electric or natural gas powered. This heat source works round the clock to keep the entire capacity of water in the tank heated.
TANKLESS WATER HEATERS
Tankless water heaters were designed in response to a big push for more energy-efficient homes and appliances. These systems are fundamentally designed to use less water and less energy. To do this they heat water only when it is needed and being used. As the name indicated, there is no tank. No reservoir that is constantly holding a set amount of water heated to a set temperature. Instead, when the hot water faucet is engaged, the system routes water through pipes that are heated and thus heating the water. Approximately two to three gallons of water per minute are heated in this fashion.
Having a tankless water heater is beneficial in the following ways:
- Convenience
- Eco-friendly
- Durability
Once the hot water faucet is turned off, the system is turned off and sits dormant until it is needed again. This means that during times of non-use the tankless system is not using energy or water.
