If you’re looking for the right water heater style for your home, Chesapeake Home Services, LLC is happy to help compare tankless water heaters vs. conventional water heaters. Tankless water heaters have revolutionized the way we think about energy consumption and convenience. See why going tankless is the CHS recommended choice.
What’s the Difference Between Tankless and Conventional Water Heaters?
Conventional Water Heaters: Conventional water heaters, also known as storage tank water heaters, operate by continuously heating and storing a reservoir of hot water in a large tank. This means the heater must constantly work to keep the water at the desired temperature, even when no hot water is being used. As a result, they tend to consume more energy and often require more frequent repairs and service.
Tankless Water Heaters: Tankless water heaters, also referred to as on-demand or instantaneous water heaters, heat water only when needed. They don’t store hot water; instead, they use high-powered burners or electric coils to heat water rapidly as it flows through the unit. This on-demand heating method eliminates standby energy losses, making them more energy-efficient. Learn about Chesapeake Home Services, LLC’ financing options for tankless water heaters.
