Types of Water Heaters

There are two main types of water heaters, including the traditional and tankless water heater. Our team at LeadingEdge Plumbing & Rooter can install, repair and replace all types of residential water heaters.

Traditional hot water heaters contain a tank for the storage and heating of water. These are the most common types of water heaters found in homes. Tank sizes generally range from 10 gallons to more than 50 gallons. The size you need will depend on the number of water-using appliances you have in your home and the number of people in your family.

Gas-powered water heaters use natural gas to operate a pilot light. The pilot light fires a burner which heats the water in your water heater. Homeowners choose gas water heaters due to the low cost of fuel. However, natural gas water heaters typically require more maintenance and they do not last as long as electric water heaters, usually between 8 and 12 years.

Electric water heaters use heating elements located in the tank, sometimes near the top and bottom, to evenly heat the water. Electric water heaters require less maintenance than gas water heaters, and typically last longer, usually between 10 and 15 years.

Tankless hot water heaters can also use gas or electricity, depending on your preferences. The major difference between traditional and tankless water heaters is that a tankless water heater does not store water. Instead, it only heats water when you turn on a tap, take a shower, or use your washer or dishwasher. For this reason, they are often called on-demand water heaters. These water heaters typically last 20 years and require little maintenance.
