Water heaters are responsible for a large portion of your energy bills because they are the second largest energy users in a home, next to the heating and cooling system.

On average, natural gas water heaters cost less to operate than electric water heaters, and can heat water twice as fast. In fact, according to the American Gas Association, consumers can enjoy two bathtubs full of water with heated by natural gas at the same cost as a single tub full of water heated by electricity.

Hot Water Tank vs. Tankless Comparison

• Tank: The most popular type of water heater for residential use is a storage (tank) water heater, which combines a gas burner with an insulated tank to store hot water. A storage water heater works by taking cold water from the home’s water supply and moving it to the bottom of the tank where it s heated by a gas burner controlled by a thermostat. Since hot water is lighter than cold water, the heated water rises to the top of the tank where a delivery pipe sends it where it is needed.
• Pros
•  Lower initial cost
• Easy and inexpensive to replace
•  Cons
• Higher utility bill from heating and reheating water to maintain temperature
• Can run out of hot water. If you’ve ever been the last person in your family to take a shower, you’ve experienced the downside of tank water heaters
• Shorter life (10-15 years)
• Tankless: Tankless water heaters use a heat source to warm up cold water on-demand as you need it.
• Pros
• More efficient – on average a tankless water heater uses 24-34% less energy than tanked heaters
• Smaller, take up less space in your home
• Longer life (over 20 years)
• Delivers hot water on demand – which means you never run out
• Cons
• Higher initial cost
• Replacing a traditional water heater with a tankless heater can be more complicated and installation costs can be high
