Tank Vs. Tankless

Both tank and tankless water heaters have benefits. A tankless water heater is much smaller, which works well when space is limited. It delivers hot water instantly, so you don't have to freeze while you wait for the shower to warm up. However, a tankless water heater is usually more expensive than a tanked water heater, which may push that option off the table if you have a small budget.

Comparing the specifics can help you decide which is best for your situation:

How a Tankless Water Heater Works

High-powered burners heat the water quickly in a tankless water heater. The water runs through the heat exchanger and then to your faucets or appliances when you need hot water. It heats the water on-demand instead of storing hot water in the tank until you need it. You can have a whole-house tankless water heater or smaller, on-demand water heaters that sit at each faucet or appliance.

How a Tank Water Heater Works

A traditional tank water heater heats the water and stores it in a large tank, which usually ranges from 20 to 80 gallons. The tank is insulated to help keep the water hot. When you turn on a hot water tap, the hot water comes out of the top of the tank. Cold water then goes into the bottom of the tank to replace the water that you use. If you take a long shower, several people shower at once or you use multiple appliances that demand hot water, you can run out. That results in cold water coming out of the taps until the tank can heat more.

Cost Comparison

The price difference can influence your decision. Tankless water heater costs range from $2400 to $5,000, while a traditional tank water heater runs from $1900 to $3100. If you currently have a tank water heater and are switching to a tankless water heater, you might run into extra expenses for new wiring and plumbing changes. If you're on a budget, a tank water heater is usually the most affordable option.

Life Expectancy of Water Heaters

Comparing the life expectancy of a tank and tankless water heaters can help you decide which option to choose. A tankless water heater usually lasts longer than 20 years, while tank water heaters usually only last 10 to 15 years. Investing more upfront on a tankless water heater means you won't have to replace it again for a long time. This saves you money and takes the hassle out of replacing your unit. If you choose a tank water heater, regular maintenance, such as flushing the water heater, can extend its life.

Tank Vs. Tankless Water Heater Installation

The small size of a tankless water heater makes installation easier in a cramped location. However, if you're switching from a tank water heater, your home will likely need more work to accommodate the tankless water heater. Plumbing and wiring changes can make the installation process longer and more complicated. You'll also likely pay more if you switch to a unit with a different power source, such as switching from a gas model to an electric water heater.

Energy Efficiency

Tankless water heaters are generally more efficient than traditional tank water heaters. The U.S. Department of Energy says that, compared to tank water heaters, tankless models are between 24% and 34% more efficient if you use less than 41 gallons of hot water each day. Traditional tank water heaters have to keep the water heated all the time in case you need hot water. A tankless water heater only heats the water when you need it, which is why it uses less energy.

Tankless water heaters usually last longer and save energy, which can offset the additional cost it takes to install a tankless water heater. If you choose a tank water heater, look at the energy efficiency and insulation. An Energy Star-rated water heater can save you on your utility bills.





Heat pump water heaters 

Heat pumps are significantly more energy efficient than standard hot water heaters because instead of using energy to generate new heat, they collect existing ambient warmth and transfer it to the water. This efficiency can save you hundreds of dollars on energy bills each year.


Tax Incentives and Rebates

Between federal tax incentives and state-sponsored sales rebates, energy efficient heat pump water heaters can actually be a more affordable purchase than most homeowners would expect. Though the upfront cost is high, most homeowners pay back heat pump water heaters within the first year alone.


Environmentally Friendly

Because heat pumps are more energy efficient than conventional hot water heaters, they do not use as much electricity and/or natural gas, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, energystar.gov estimates that if all residential water heaters were replaced with heat pump water heaters the cost savings would be $12 billion and up to 140 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions annually.


Cons of Heat Pump Water Heaters

Does Not Work in Cold Climates

Because heat pump water heaters draw ambient warmth from the air, they do not work well, or sometimes at all, in colder temperatures. For this reason, it may be difficult to utilize a heat pump water heater in certain regions. Some heat pump water heaters use a hybrid system that can turn on traditional electric water heating if it gets too cold to run the heat pump.
