Traditional Water Heaters
Traditional water heaters have been used to heat homes for decades, storing between 30 and 50 gallons of water at a designated temperature and using it to power multiple systems and appliances, from the household heating system to dishwashers, faucets, and showers.
Traditional water heaters tend to be cheaper to install and maintain, but the downside of these systems is that they can result in high utility bills. The need to store the tank somewhere also requires an adequate amount of space, something not every home can accommodate.
If your home has a traditional water heater or you’re interested in using one, however, Efficient Air Conditioning & Heating offers installation services, as well as traditional water heater replacement and traditional water heater repair.
Tankless Water Heaters
While traditional water heaters store heated water within a tank, tankless water heaters depend on electricity or gas to heat cold water for use in heating systems and appliances.
Unlike their traditional counterparts, tankless water heaters can be pricey to install and replace. Since they aren’t constantly running however, they’re more energy efficient and more cost effective. They also don’t require a ton of space to store.
Our contractors at Efficient Air Conditioning & Heating can determine if a tankless water heater is an ideal fit for your needs. We offer tankless water heater installation and tankless water heater replacement, as well as repair services for your system.
