Choosing The Right Water Heater For You
According to the Department of Energy, water heating can account for up to 20% of your home’s energy use. Choosing the right heater can help reduce your energy consumption and monthly bill while also providing you with the hot water you need when you need it.
But which water heater is right for you? Should you go tankless or conventional? Gas or electric?
Here are a few factors to keep in mind when thinking about the right water heater:
Fuel type. The fuel type or energy source you use for water heating will not only affect the water heater’s annual operation costs but also its size and energy efficiency. Both tankless and conventional water heaters can usually use gas or electric energy. However, if you go with gas, you’ll need to make sure you have a gas line where your heater is.
Energy efficiency. To maximize your energy and cost savings, you want to know how energy efficient a water heater is before you purchase it. In general, tankless water heaters are often more energy efficient than conventional water heaters. But even if you want a conventional water heater, there are ways to improve energy efficiency.
Costs. Before you purchase a water heater, it’s also a good idea to estimate its annual operating costs and compare those costs with other less or more energy-efficient models.
Size. If you’re considering a conventional water heater, you need a properly sized water heater to provide your household with enough hot water and to maximize efficiency. The size and capacity of your water heater will have a great impact on how well it’s able to supply hot water throughout your house or workplace. The more demand for hot water you have, the more capacity you’ll need to keep your hot water demands satisfied.
Space availability. In addition, space availability is something to keep in mind. Conventional water heaters take up more space than tankless water heaters. Tankless water heaters can often be placed out of sight (but still within accessible reach) on the wall of your garage or basement.
At the end of the day, choosing the right water heater comes down to your specific wants and needs. And if you’re not sure which is right for you, our expert technicians will be more than happy to walk through the pros and cons of different types of water heaters with you.

When he arrived, he listened carefully to the history of problems with our tankless hot water heater and assessed the situation.

Michael and I discussed options and he made a recommendation in line with what I also thought would be best. I appreciated his honesty and knowledge. Robinson's prices for the labor, repair and service call were also less than the previous service I used. I highly recommend Robinson's Plumbing and technician Michael based on my service today.
