Tankless Water Heater of Chandler

Are you tired of not getting hot water when taking a shower? Or if you happen to be merely looking to upgrade your water heater, we bring you the complete information to help you make the best possible choice. Most often than not, most people end up paying 20-30% more in utility bills than they ideally should. In the long run (say 5-7 years), making the right choice and purchasing the right water heater can save both headaches & dollars. That said, here are the different choices with their details-all you need to know.
Conventional- Storage tank water heater

As the name suggests, a tank holds water which is heated. Once the entire hot water is used, waiting time is required for heating the water again, depending upon capacity.
​
Pros :
  • Simple in design
  • ​Easy to install & operate​
  • Low cost

Cons :
  • Although insulated, standby heat losses occur
  • ​Limited hot water supply
  • Corrosion, scales cleaning twice a year
  • Useful life: 10-12years
Tankless-On demand/Instantaneous

There is no storage tank, only a continuous supply of hot water. You don’t run out of hot water. If you can purchase a heater with large enough capacity, a single water heater can meet the requirements of a large family.
​
Pros :
  • 8-30% more energy efficient than storage tank
  • ​Reduced operating cost
  • Easy operation
  • Useful life: 18-20years

Cons :
  • Initial setup cost is high
  • ​Installing a large capacity model can be expensive
Solar water heater

Solar water heaters convert sunlight into thermal energy, which in turn is utilized for heating water stored in the tank. These are rapidly gaining popularity due to their zero contribution to utility bills.
​
Pros :
  • 50% higher energy efficiency n comparison to electric/gas heaters.
  • ​Only solar energy required
  • No climatic limitation
  • Save operating costs on gas/electricity
  • Can last upto 15-20 years

Cons :
  • Includes storage tank, Cleaning scales, dirt, etc.
  • ​High initial cost
  • Limited in dull weather, high demand times
Heat Pump/hybrid water heater

This water heater utilizes the temperature difference between cold air & warmer ground. Rather than using electricity for heat generation, electricity is used to extract heat from the ground.
​
Pros :
  • 60% less electricity consumption
  • ​ENERGY STAR models save over $350 annually.
  • Suited for long run 10-15years

Cons :
  • Atleast 1000ft 3 (roughly 8 feet) of free air around water heater is a must.
  • Year round temperature must be within 40-90F
  • Cleaning tank twice a year
Indirect water heater

This heater utilizes the hot air energy from the vents of your home. The hot air is passed through the heating coils, and water is heated.
​
Pros :
  • No cost required for gas or electricity
  • ​Low maintenance
  • Around 10 years

Cons :
  • Limited heating capacity
  • ​Storage tank cleaning required
  • Only usable where natural gas heating is available
Tankless-Coil water heater

This is a much lesser-known variety of water heater. A pre-requisite for installing this water heater is having a furnace or boiler availability.
​
Pros :
  • Low installation cost
  • ​No storage tank
  • Continuous supply
  • Roughly 10years

Cons :
  • Inefficient in warmer climates​​
On a conclusive note, the best way to weigh among the choices is to understand the perquisites. An ideal heater choice must fulfill the criteria of providing hot water all year round and useful life of approximately a decade. Always bear in mind that making the right choice often makes a significant difference to utility bills annually.
