FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA- JUNE 20, 2019- Haynes Plumbing Services is pleased to provide homeowners, with a few an overview of water heaters, and which is the best choice for replacement. To better help homeowners decide if tankless water heaters are the solution they’ve been looking for, Haynes Plumbing offers up point by point comparison to make the decision less stressful.

Most homes are outfitted with a tank water heater, that supplies the property with hot water when requested. These have been in use for decades, and for the most part have been the top choice when needing to replace an older unit that stops working, is damaged, or a homeowner decides they want better energy savings.

Tank water heaters are cheap to replace. Most units cost around $400, but for those thinking of upgrading to a tankless water heater, the cost is nearly triple that. While it is true that the initial cost for a tankless water heater is quite a bit more, there are significant advantages to having it installed in the home — the most beneficial being cost-saving monthly on energy expenses. Tank water heaters always run. Tankless water heaters only use energy when a person request hot water.

Tankless water heaters provide unlimited hot water, on-demand. When compared to a tank that has a limited supply of whatever the tank can hold, tankless delivers all the hot water a home could want. But, there are some limitations. Haynes Plumbing Services had this to say about tankless water heater capacity, “Although you technically won’t “run out” of hot water, tankless water heaters still have some capacity considerations. They typically can’t support multiple hot water uses at once, but they’re compact enough to be installed at multiple places in your home.”

Haynes Plumbing warns that while tankless water heaters have a variety of benefits, they do have many disadvantages. It is best for homeowners to weigh both options before making a final decision.
