If you’re considering a new water heater, it’s important to understand the differences between traditional tank water heaters and tankless (on-demand) systems.
Traditional Tank Water Heaters
✅ Stores and preheats water in a large tank
✅ More affordable upfront, but higher energy costs
✅ Suitable for households with high water usage
According to The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), traditional water heaters account for 18% of a home’s total energy consumption.
Tankless (On-Demand) Water Heaters
✅ Heats water only when needed, reducing energy use
✅ More expensive initially, but lower long-term costs
✅ Ideal for small homes or energy-efficient households
Research from Energy Star suggests that switching to a tankless water heater can reduce energy bills by 30%.
