Tank or Tankless?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s start with the big question: should you choose a tank or tankless model? We\u2019ll go through the benefits of both.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tank models<\/b> are a tried and true classic. They create hot water and then store it in a storage tank until you\u2019re ready to use it. If the tank model you have is properly-suited to the needs of your home, it\u2019s unlikely that you\u2019ll ever run out of the water you need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tankless models<\/b> are great if you\u2019re looking to take an eco-friendly and energy-efficient approach to providing hot water. Tankless water heaters create the hot water as you need it. They also never run out of hot water because of this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The bottom line comes down to the personal needs of your home. Here are a few factors to consider\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Size<\/span><\/h3>\n

The size of your water heater plays a huge role in your comfort. The size of your home\u2019s water heater depends on a few different factors. The main thing you need to consider is how much hot water each member of your household needs. This isn\u2019t something we expect you to be able to figure out on your own. This is when you should come to our professionals to conduct a few calculations. Our professionals can figure out your FHR or \u201cfirst-hour rating.\u201d The number we come up with from this determines the amount of hot water (in gallons) that your home\u00a0requires during its busiest hour. Once we determine this, we can figure out the capacity needs of your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Efficiency<\/span><\/h3>\n

The size of your water heater really matters too. It\u2019s what\u2019s going to determine if you\u2019re able to get adequate hot water throughout the day. If you\u2019re unsure what size water heater you need for our home, then you should speak with our professionals. We take the EF rating into account. EF if your energy factor rating. The higher the energy factor, the more energy-efficient your water heater will be. When we factor in your EF rating, we\u2019ll also take the specific needs of your home into account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Space<\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s also important to factor in the amount of space that your water heater is going to take up. Most people have a spot in their home for their water heater. If you upgrade to a model that\u2019s a different size, it\u2019s important to make sure that you still have a spot for it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
