Finding the Right Water Heater for Your Needs
When it comes to water heaters, you have a wide range of choices beyond the brand. Our experts are happy to help you select the right option for your home, but here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Fuel type: You can opt for electric, gas, or oil. Electric water heaters are more affordable to install but generally cost more to run. Gas water heaters are the exact opposite—more expensive to install, cheaper to run. Oil-water heaters are uncommon outside of remote areas where access to natural gas is limited.
- Capacity: Water heater tanks range in size from about 20 to 80 gallons. Aim for roughly 10 gallons per person. Tankless models are rated by flow rate per minute.
- System style: There are two types of water heaters: tankless and storage. Tankless systems tend to cost a bit more upfront but are far more efficient and have longer lifespans.
Water heaters also vary in efficiency, price, size, and even features. We only work with the best brands in the industry to ensure you can trust that no matter what option you choose, your new water heater will stand the test of time and reliably meet your needs.
