Frequently Asked Questions
What type of water heater do I need?
There are five types of water heaters: conventional storage water heaters, tankless water heaters, heat pump water heaters, solar water heaters, and indirect water heaters.
Regardless of what type you choose, you’ll want to select one that delivers the flow rate/capacity you need for your home, meets your requirements for reliability and warranty coverage, and fits your budget and estimated monthly operating expenses.
Which is better: a gas or electric water heater?
Both gas and electric water heaters are well-suited for homes in Washington, DC, and throughout Maryland. Electric water heaters have a lower environmental footprint but cost more to operate. Gas water heaters are more common and will cost less to install, and are also more efficient.
What size water heater do I need?
Storage tank water heaters that hold 50 to 60 gallons are suitable for one to three residents, while 80-gallon systems are better for three to four residents. You’ll need a 100-gallon system for four to six residents.
If you choose an electric tankless water heater, you’ll need a flow rate of between 2 and 5 gallons per minute for one to two people, and if there are more people in the home, you should choose a system with a flow rate of between 7 and 10 gallons per minute.
Are tankless water heaters better?
Tankless water heaters are 20% to 25% more energy-efficient than traditional storage tank water heaters. As “on-demand” systems, there’s no need to keep the water hot when not needed, which means they require less fuel to operate.
They also tend to require less maintenance and fewer repairs compared to other water heater options.
