Water Heater Installation

A traditional water heater tank stores water so hot water is always available, while a tankless water heater heats water on demand, which is more energy-efficient. Traditional storage-type water heaters are easier and cheaper to install.

It is generally more expensive to install a natural gas-powered heater than an electric water heater, though this decision can be based on local natural gas and electricity costs as well.

Traditional tank-style water heaters range from 20-80 gallon tanks with the 40-gallon size being the most common. It’s important to keep in mind that the larger the tank, the more expensive it will be for heating costs and to purchase the unit itself. Not sure what size tank is best for your family? Let our plumbing experts at John the Plumber help you decide!

Tankless water heaters are measured in gallons per minute or their on-demand flow rate. Generally, they range from 4-8 gallons a minute. If you are unsure of what size tankless water heater would work best for your family, give our friendly neighborhood plumbers at John the Plumber a call!
