Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of installing a tank water heater?
Tank water heaters provide instant hot water access, allow every water-using appliance to run simultaneously, offer high temperature settings, and are substantially cheaper to buy and install compared to tankless water heaters.
What factors should I consider when choosing the size of a tank water heater?
When choosing the size of a tank water heater, consider your household’s hot water usage habits, the number of water-using appliances you own, the number of bathrooms in your home, and the available space for installation.
What are the benefits of installing a tankless water heater?
Tankless water heaters offer a space-saving design, provide endless streams of hot water on demand, and do not require a storage tank, saving space in your home. They are ideal for households looking to maximize efficiency and save on energy costs.
How do I determine the appropriate flow rate for a tankless water heater?
To determine the appropriate flow rate for a tankless water heater, consider your household’s hot water usage patterns and the number of water fixtures that may be used simultaneously. Higher flow rates are necessary for households with multiple bathrooms or high hot water demand.
What are the advantages of tankless water heaters over tank water heaters?

Do tankless water heaters require any special maintenance?
While tankless water heaters generally require less maintenance than tank water heaters, it’s essential to periodically descale the unit to remove mineral buildup and ensure optimal performance. Regular inspections by a professional plumber are also recommended to address any potential issues.
Can tankless water heaters supply hot water to multiple fixtures simultaneously?
Yes, depending on the unit’s flow rate and your household’s hot water demand, tankless water heaters can supply hot water to multiple fixtures simultaneously. However, it’s essential to choose a unit with an adequate flow rate to meet your needs.
