Traditional Water Heaters

When looking for a water heater, there are a few things to take into consideration in order to get the right one for your home and your needs. Traditional Water Heaters heat and store water in a large tank. Every time you use water in your home, it comes from the preheated water in the storage tank. As you use hot water, your water source refills water into the tank to be heated and ready for use.

Finding the right tank size is an important consideration when choosing a water heater. The number of people in your family, and the water needs of your home are important to look into when choosing a tank size. Water heater tanks range anywhere from 30 gallons to 80 gallons. Along with the tank size, it is important to look at the energy efficiency and the recovery rate of the water heater. The recovery rate relates to the number of gallons of water that can be heated in an hours’ time.
