Should I Choose a Tankless Unit?
What Are My Options?
When it’s time to finally replace or upgrade your water heater, there are two options. The first is the traditional tank storage, and the second is the tankless unit. Both have their pros and cons but no matter which option you choose, Harry Hayes Plumbing is the right choice for water heater installation in Jacksonville FL.
Tank-storage Water Heaters 
Tank storage units usually range from 30 to 80 gallons. These tanks work by heating the water stored inside the tank. They come in gas and electric models, and both are relatively easy to install and are cheaper than their tankless counterparts. One major drawback to tank storage units is that once the tank is depleted of hot water, you must wait for the tank to reheat the water inside the tank. For smaller households, this might not be a problem, but for larger households, you might have to wait to take a hot shower.
Tankless Water Heaters 
Tankless water heaters offer several advantages over tank storage units. The main advantage is that hot water is on-demand, which means that the tankless unit only heats your water as needed. Tankless water heaters use a heat exchanger to quickly heat the water, providing you instant hot water as you need it.
Tankless water heaters have a lifespan up to 20 years, longer than traditional water heaters. They are also much more efficient than traditional tank storage units.
Another major advantage is tankless water heaters take up much less space. Traditional tank storage units usually take up useful garage, laundry room, or closet space that can be reclaimed by installing a tankless unit.
The drawbacks to tankless water heaters are higher up-front costs and longer installation times; however, the longer lifespan and energy bill savings of a tankless unit usually more than offset the additional money and time spent.
