Storage Tanks vs. Tankless Water Heaters
At Quality Water Northwest, we install storage tank and tankless water heater models from top brands, including Rheem, Bradford-White, Rinnai, and Navien. What is the difference between these two types of systems, and why would you choose one over the other?
Here are further details:
- Storage tank water heaters - These systems store and heat water in a large tank. Often, they are less expensive upfront and can provide hot water from multiple sources simultaneously. However, they can consume more energy than tankless models since they constantly heat and reheat the stored water.
- Tankless water heaters - Instead of storing hot water, these compact units heat it on demand. Tankless units are highly efficient, which can lead to cost savings. They can be more expensive upfront, and you must select a unit with the proper flow rate (otherwise, you may not have the volume of hot water you need).
Ultimately, the right choice will depend on your hot usage, available space, energy efficiency goals, and budget. Our team would gladly offer recommendations based on these factors, steering you toward a unit that delivers reliable performance and value.
When Should You Replace Your Water Heater?
Your water heater is crucial for your home or business's day-to-day functions, from cleaning, showering, and bathing to running your dishwasher and washing machine. Unfortunately, many people do not think about the condition and reliability of their water heater until it is too late.
Failing to replace your water heater when it is past its prime can lead to a string of problems. Not only can an old, inefficient system drive up energy costs, but undetected leaks could cause significant water damage to your property. Worse yet, a sudden breakdown could leave you without hot water when you need it most. For these reasons, knowing when to replace your water heater is key.
Pay attention to the following:
- Age - Water heaters typically last 10 to 15 years. If yours is approaching or has exceeded this range, it is likely time to consider a replacement to avoid the costs of decreased efficiency, repairs, and potential breakdowns.
- Rust or corrosion - If you notice rust or corrosion on your water heater tank, an upgrade is in your best interests. These things can cause leaks and water damage if left unchecked.
- Lack of hot water - Are you finding that your water is not as warm as it used to be? Do you run out of hot water quickly? Your system may be struggling to keep up with demand.
- Strange noises - Unusual noises from your water heater, such as popping or rumbling, could indicate sediment buildup or other mechanical issues.
