Having hot water available at all times is important to you, which means you need to choose a water heater that works right for your Florida home. There are different options available, and each type of hot water tank has advantages and disadvantages that you should know about. At Harrington Air Conditioning, we can help you take the guesswork out of selecting your next hot water system.
Traditional Tank Water Heaters
A standard water tank stores 30 to 80-gallons of water and keeps it heated, so it is available when you need it. However, it can run out of hot water if your household uses a lot at once. It is the most traditional unit type in Florida homes and offers a lower installation cost. If you are on a budget and need a hot water unit replacement in a hurry, this is the type you are likely to choose.
While traditional tank water heaters cost less upfront, they can increase your monthly energy bill. The water in the tank needs to be kept hot, even when you are not using water, so the system is always working to maintain the desired water temperature.
Hot water systems have a lifespan of about 10-15 years. When a unit gets old, it can develop leaks. It’s good to be proactive and replace the unit before you end up with a cold shower!
Tankless Water Heaters
Homeowners seeking meaningful ways to use less energy over time may opt for a tankless system. Rather than storing hot water in a tank, this unit type heats the water as you need it. The unit itself is compact, taking up much less space than a hot water tank.
These on-demand water heaters eliminate the need to continually heat water, but they cost more to install than a standard system. While a single tankless unit is typically adequate for households with one or two occupants, a larger household may require more than a single unit.
Tankless systems have a longer lifespan than most traditional tank heaters, lasting 20 or more years before they need to be replaced. Because they need to be flushed, tankless units require more frequent maintenance than hot water tanks.
