Which Water Heater Is Right for Me?

It’s time to install a new water heater. Both tankless and reservoir models have unique advantages, but they each fulfill different household needs. You won’t necessarily fulfill your house’s needs. You must factor in cost, fuel types, energy efficiency, and size. Here, we have the most common tankless and reservoir water heaters: 

  • Tankless Water Heaters heat water without needing a storage tank. Once the hot water faucet is turned on, either a natural gas burner or an electric element heats the water. Ultimately, gas-fired tankless water heaters more efficiently produce higher flow rates than electric ones, producing 2-5 gallons of hot water a minute.
  • Conventional Reservoir Water Heaters function with a large storage tank, usually 20-80 gallons, that stores the pre-heated water. Once it decreases to a certain temperature, it begins to heat up the water again. When the hot water is released, cool water that has been sitting at the bottom circulates through the heating element to begin the cycle again. While it is easy to go through the stored water, this model is often chosen for its simplistic design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fluctuating water temperatures, low water pressure, strange noises, discolored water, or water pooling around the base of your unit are all indicators of a problem. If you find yourself suddenly without hot water, or your water doesn’t seem to stay hot for long, contact Waldstein Plumbing to take a look at it!

This depends on several factors, including water quality and the type of water heater you have. Tankless units typically last longer than traditional reservoir models. With regular maintenance to check heating elements and clean up corrosion, you can expect a tanked water heater to last close to 15 years, and a tankless model to last upwards of 20 years.

You can choose a frequency that makes sense to you, but we typically see more regular appointments for homeowners with older tanked units, because they want to stay ahead of potential breakdowns. If your unit is newer, you might want to an occasional pre-winter tune-up to make sure there aren’t any concerns going into the colder months.

Tankless, or “on-demand,” water heaters are a great option for homes around Council Bluffs. Whether or not it is right for your household will depend on your hot water usage, available space, and other factors that might be specific to your home. Our trained plumbers will let you know what options are available to you and help you make the best decision.
