Saves A lot of Space – Tank water heaters can take up a lot of space in your basement. The typical tank can hold up to 60 gallons of water, and can be up to 60 inches tall and 24 inches wide. This is a big amount of space to surrender to your water tank. The average size of a water heater is about 28 inches tall and 20 inches wide. This is more than half of the height of a tank! By choosing a water heater, you will be able to have more space in your basement for your own use.

More Reliable Hot Water – Homes that rely on the traditional tank may run out of hot water due to the energy supply’s source being the tank. The water tank requires annual maintenance to ensure it is operating as efficiently as possible. In the case of the tank going out of service, the repairs to fix it can be costly and time-consuming. On the contrary, water heaters do not require as much maintenance. Cleaning a mineral buildup is a simple process that can easily be done. Furthermore, water heaters provide heat when it is in use. There are no external sources of heat that could stop it from doing so, unlike hot water which relies on tanks.

Long Lifespan – A tankless water heater can last up to 20 years with proper maintenance. This is about 10 years longer than the average tank water heater.
