A traditional tank water heater costs less up front, installs quickly, and does the job well for most households. Its limits are the obvious ones: you have a fixed amount of hot water, and once it's gone you're waiting for a refill. A tankless unit heats water on demand, so you don't run out, it takes up far less space, and it typically lasts longer than a tank. It costs more to install and, depending on your existing setup, may need venting or gas line adjustments — which we handle in-house.

Which one is right depends on how many people are in the house, how the hot water gets used, and what your current setup looks like. A family running back-to-back showers every morning has a different problem than a couple that mostly needs hot water in the evening. We'll look at your actual usage and give you a straight recommendation, including the case for simply replacing what you have with a comparable unit if that's the sensible move. And when a water heater fails outright, we know that's not a project you can schedule around — we move fast on those.
