In general, a water heater will last for 6 to 12 years with proper maintenance. This means you’ll have to replace your water heater from time to time.
Today, there are a couple of different options for a new water heating system. You can use a traditional system that uses a tank, or a tankless system that uses a heat exchanger to heat the water as it flows through the system.
Which system is right for your home? Several factors can help you make that decision.
In most cases, a tankless system uses less energy because it doesn’t have to heat an entire tank of water.
If you still prefer traditional water heaters in Pelham, NY, you can improve the energy efficiency of your unit by wrapping it with an insulation blanket. In using a blanket, make sure the blanket is properly rated for your type of water heater, which will be electric or gas.
Newer tanks do come with better insulation installed. A plumbing contractor can help you compare energy efficiency ratings for traditional systems.
When dealing with the upfront costs, the prices of both traditional and tankless water heaters are within similar ranges. For instance, you will find that gas systems are generally more expensive than electric systems in both types of water heaters.
Tankless systems can offer lower long-term costs. Since they use less energy, you’ll likely see a drop in your monthly utility bills. Additionally, tankless systems last twice as long as traditional tanks. A tankless system can last for up to 20 years.
When choosing water heaters in Pelham, NY, you should consider your household’s needs. A tankless system heats water as needed, so there may be an issue with high demand. In a home where multiple people are using hot water at the same time, the availability of heated water may be somewhat limited.
Alternatively, a heated tank can supply hot water until the tank is empty. Once emptied, it may take up to an hour to refill the tank and heat the water. A larger tank will last longer.
