THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CONVENTIONAL HOT WATER HEATER AND A TANKLESS WATER HEATER IN LOS ANGELES AND THESAN FERNANDO VALLEY?
Conventional water heaters are by far the most common type of water heater in the U.S. today. Most homes have a conventional water heater that range in size between 50 to 80 gallons. The unit continuously heats the water in the cylindrical tank, maintaining a set temperature at all times, until used. As the hot water is completely consumed one must wait for the replacement cold water to heat up.
It takes a great deal of energy to keep such a large quantity of hot water, hot all day, every day, whether used or not – consuming energy (gas or electricity) even when no hot water is being used. Also leaks from conventional water heaters are one of the leading causes of residential property water damage.
Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, heat the water on-demand, whenever you need it, as it is being used, offering a continuous supply of hot water. These types of water heaters are more energy-efficient as they only heat the water that is actually used. A tankless water heater has lower operating costs and can reduce energy consumption by as much as 30% based on usage patterns. Also as they do not have a storage tank, one need not worry about water leaks.
However, tankless water heaters do require significantly greater initial investment, so despite their obvious benefits, budget does play a big factor in the decision.
