Types Of Water Heaters 

Conventional Water Heater 

Conventional water heaters are one of the most common types used in homes. These heaters work by holding water in a tank that is constantly warmed by a heat source. There are a variety of pros and cons to this type of water heater.

Pros

  • Less Upfront Cost: Overall, conventional water heaters are cheaper than tankless and other types of water heaters.
  • Less Expensive Installation: Depending on where you have the water heater tank placed, the installation cost could be higher than other types of water heaters. However, the installation costs are typically lower.

Cons

  • Less Energy Efficient: Conventional water heaters require a constant source of electricity. This causes them to be less energy efficient than other types.
  • Requires Substantial Space: A conventional water heater requires a lot of space. They will typically take up the area that is about the size of a small closet or pantry.

Tankless Water Heater

Tankless water heaters are another popular type of water heater. These water heater types use heated coils that give hot water on-demand, so you don’t have to worry about running out. There are pros and cons to this type of water heater, too.

Pros

  • Instant Hot Water: A tankless water heater’s coils heat water quicker, thus providing hot water on demand anywhere in the home.
  • Decreased Energy Cost: Since these water heaters only create hot water when needed, it doesn’t require a constant flow of electricity to power it. This reduces your electricity consumption.

Cons

  • More Expensive: Tankless water heaters are typically more expensive to purchase and install. However, the month-to-month savings from less energy consumption help balance it out.
