Tankless vs. Traditional Water Heaters

Tankless Systems

  • Endless hot water on demand
  • Compact and space-saving
  • Up to 30 % lower energy costs
  • Lifespan up to 20 years

Traditional Tank Systems

  • Lower upfront cost
  • Easier to install and maintain
  • Ideal for large households with simultaneous hot water use

Need help deciding?

Our team will evaluate your household demand, layout, and energy goals to recommend the perfect fit.

When to Replace Your Water Heater

  • Water takes longer to heat or turns cold quickly
  • Rust or corrosion visible around fittings
  • Rumbling or popping noises during operation
  • Age over 10 years
  • Leaks or pooling water near the base
Pro Tip: Sediment buildup is one of the biggest causes of early water heater failure — an annual flush can extend your system's life by several years.

Energy Efficiency and Savings

Installing a new ENERGY STAR® or A.O. Smith® water heater can cut annual energy costs by up to 35 %.
