Tank style Water Heater
A tank heater stores water that’s always heated, so it’s ready whenever you need it. Sizes range from 20 to 80 gallons, but most homes do well with a 40- or 50-gallon tank.
When the dishwasher, washing machine or shower is running, hot water is drawn from the top of the tank and circulates quickly to where you need it. The water heater then draws cold water into the bottom of the tank and heats it so more warm water is available when it’s needed.
Tank water heaters are generally less expensive to purchase and install than other water heaters. While tankless water heaters are the champions of energy efficiency, a tank heater can still be efficient—especially ENERGY STAR models.

Why Go Tankless?
A tankless water heater is an ideal way to save energy. As a matter of fact, the U.S. Department of Energy has determined a tankless heater is 8 to 34 percent more efficient than a storage tank water heater.
Unlike traditional tank heaters that heat gallons of water and keep it for distribution, tankless water heaters use gas burners or electric coils to heat water as needed. That could save you a lot on utility costs—at least $100 a year, according to energy.gov.
Since warm water isn’t held for later use, you won’t be paying for heat losses like with tank heaters. You’ll also enjoy a continuous quantity of hot water.

Let’s go over some of the benefits of a tankless system:
Most tankless heaters last for 20 years, about twice as long a standard tank heater.
Most entitle you to a federal tax rebate.
Endless hot water.
Excellent efficiency and no standby thermal loss.
Small design that can be fixed on a wall, in a cupboard or in a closet.
There’s no chance of flooding due to a split tank.
