TANKLESS WATER HEATERS

WHY USE A TANKLESS WATER HEATER?

More and more, households on the North Shore are turning to tankless water heaters for their home’s needs. Some appreciate the consistent output of hot water. For others, they love the lower energy consumption on the unit. Many homeowners, however, are still unaware of the differences. Depending on your home’s water usage, tanked water heaters can still be the best option.

TANK VS. TANKLESS

The most significant differences between tank and tankless water heaters are the upfront and lifespan costs, the amount of hot water available, and repair costs. Depending on your home’s hot water needs and your budget, there’s enough nuance to explore which solution is best for you. That’s where Fagone can help.

COST COMPARISON

Working out the math for the pricing of a water heater, tanked or tankless, can be hard. Fagone can help demystify much of the pricing discussion. Tankless water heaters may seem more expensive at first, but when considering equipment that will last for years or even decades, it’s essential to account for the entire lifespan of the system when making cost calculations. Tankless heaters can be up to twice as expensive to purchase, with the installation often costing more than traditional tank units, but this isn’t the whole story. Tankless heaters frequently have lifespans that are double or even triple those of their tanked counterparts. As well, tankless heaters are more energy efficient, meaning over the course of the life of a unit, your costs will be less than those of a traditional tank.
