Have you ever got into the shower at the end of a long day, ready to scrub off your worries and get ready for bed, only for the hot water to run out and give you a chilly surprise?
You don’t need to ration hot water anymore! Let New Light Electrical Plumbing Services help you swap your traditional tank water heater for a tankless water heater today.
We are a family-owned, local business that has been serving our Wake Forest community for over 45 years, and we have the expert knowledge to help you choose the right tankless water heater for you and ensure that your tankless water heater installation goes smoothly.
What is a tankless hot water heater? They are a more modern version of the traditional tank water heater. You have two options, depending on your specific needs, for your tankless hot water heater: an electric tankless water heater or a tankless gas water heater.
No matter which tankless water heater you choose, they both heat water on demand (as opposed to using tank storage), take up less space, and operate in a much more energy (and cost) efficient manner.
Gas or Electric: Which Tankless Hot Water Heater Should You Choose?
So, which should you choose, a tankless gas water heater or a tankless electric water heater? Like most home plumbing questions, the specific answer depends on your unique household needs.
In the chart below, you can find a brief comparison of both types of tankless hot water heaters:
| Gas Water Heater, Tankless | Electric Water Heater, Tankless | |
| More efficient than a traditional tank water heater | X | X |
| Holds the largest volume of water | X | |
| Works with current gas/propane services | X | |
| Cheaper upfront tankless hot water heater unit cost | X | |
| Cheaper price per energy unit | X | |
| Lower tankless water heater installation costs | X | |
| Requires annual maintenance | X | |
| High electricity usage | X | |
| May not be compatible with older electric wiring or small, warm-climate homes | X | |
| More eco-friendly and energy efficient | X |
What does all this data mean? Tankless gas water heaters tend to fit best for households with high hot water usage, but families that don’t have high water usage may find electrical tankless water heaters to be more efficient overall.
If you still don’t know which tankless water heater to pick, don’t worry! New Light’s expert staff will help you make the choice!
