Tankless Water Heaters Vs. Traditional Water Heaters

The pros and cons of traditional and tankless water heaters:

Traditional Water Heaters:

Pros:

  • Lower Initial cost - A traditional water heater installation can be half as much as a tankless water heater.
  • Easy and inexpensive to replace - Less installation complications means that there's less that can go wrong.

Cons:

  • Higher utility bill - They heat and reheat water at a pre-set temperature regardless of your water needs. This increases your utility bill - especially during the winter.
  • Bigger and harder to place - They occupy more room and can't be placed outside.
  • Can run out of hot water - Ever been the last in your family to get in the shower? It's a chilling experience. This can be avoided by purchasing a larger tank (although that will be more energy costs, as well).
  • Shorter life - Lasts 10-15 years. This means there's more turnover and therefore you have to buy them twice as often as a tankless water heater.

Tankless Water Heaters:

Pros:

  •  Saves money in the long run - According to Energy.gov, "For homes that use 41 gallons or less of hot water daily, demand (or tankless) water heaters can be 24%-34% more energy efficient than conventional storage tank water heaters."
  • Doesn't take up much space - They are small and can be installed in more places - even outside on a wall.
  • Lives longer - Lasts 20+ years. Almost double a traditional water heater's life.
  • Delivers hot water on demand - Provides two to three gallons of hot water per minute on demand.

Cons:

  • Higher initial cost - Costs $2,800 to $4,500 installed (depends on the model and who you get it from).
  • Retrofitting adds to upfront cost - Replacing a traditional water heater with a tankless system is more complicated. So that increases the installation cost even further.
