Homeowner's Guide to Water Heaters
As the plumbing industry evolves, many new products become available for consumers. Water heaters are no exception. Just a few years ago there was really only one choice: water heaters with a tank that heats and retains hot water ready for use when needed. Of course the water in the storage tank cools during non-use and must be reheated, resulting in a waste of energy resources. Tankless or in-line heaters were developed to combat this energy loss. The absence of a storage tank saves energy lost to cooling but requires the heater to keep up with the demand for hot water instantaneously. The issue is being able to select the proper size that will match your home or business’s minimum requirements for hot water peak demands.
