Does it work some of the time, but not all? Do you and Joe the Plumber have to keep fiddling with it to make it work? Maybe it’s 10 to 15 years of usefulness has run out—that’s the usual lifespan of a water heater.
You might not realize it until your dishes consistently come out of the dishwasher dirty or a cold shower wakes you up when you are expecting a hot one. You also might notice your utility bill has become enormous. It’s time for a change. Here are two popular choices:
First is the conventional water heater with its sizable insulated tank. It costs less to install than other choices, but takes up a lot more space in your home and is more susceptible to rust and corrosion. It also uses up more energy monthly to keep water hot on a consistent basis.
Tankless water heaters, in contrast, provide instant hot water on demand, requiring much less energy to run. And because of their compact size, they take up a much smaller space in your home. Although you save on future utility bills, tankless water heaters cost much more to purchase and install. And if you have a large family, it may be hard to get enough hot water in a short space of time.
