Tank or tankless: Which is best for homeowners?

If it's time for you to replace your hot water heater, there are many options. One of the biggest choices to make is whether you want a conventional tank hot water heater or a tankless unit.

Most older homes in the Denver area have tank hot water heaters, either fueled by electricity or gas. These store a large amount of water in a tank, with a heating element to keep the water hot and ready for use when you need it. Tank water heaters have a lower upfront cost and are typically the better choice for larger households, who need more hot water available on demand. However, both electric and gas tank water heaters tend to be less energy efficient than their tankless counterparts and have a shorter lifespan.

If you're looking for a highly efficient option, a tankless hot water heater may be the best choice for you. Great for small spaces, these units use a heat exchanger to heat the water as it passes through the unit. Because they only heat water when you need it, they are more energy-efficient, saving you costs on your energy bills. Tankless units are typically more expensive up front, but have a longer lifespan, lasting as much as 10 years longer than a tank water heater.

At Sanders & Johnson, we can help you in determining what the best hot water heater is for your specific needs and budget. We're experts in installing both tank and tankless water heaters and will guide you through the process from start to finish.

Energy efficiency and hot water heaters

Because it is a system that you use every day, your hot water heater consumes a significant amount of energy. The good news is, our team is dedicated to helping you improve the energy efficiency of your hot water heater to save you on energy bills.

For Denver homeowners, the number one way to ensure that your hot water heater is highly efficient is to schedule regular servicing. Without it, corrosion can build up in the tank, causing your water heater to work harder and use more energy. In addition, having clean heating elements and a properly functioning thermostat will ensure that your gas or electric hot water heater is working efficiently and set at the correct temperature.

By having your unit cleaned, inspected, and tuned up on a regular basis, you'll have a hot water heater that is not only energy-efficient but is reliable and long-lasting. Call the team at Sanders & Johnson!
