Conventional Storage Water Heater

These are the most common types of water heater. They are an insulated storage tank that holds a certain amount of heated water. The most popular sizes are 40 gallon and 50 gallon. Some units are tall at around 40″ and some are short models. The location of the unit determines if you purchase a tall or short unit.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless technology has been in Europe and Asia for years and it is now very much in the United States. Look for rebates from your energy company on all units. These tankless water heaters and combi boilers save energy and space. They are reliable and come with longer warrantees than tank units. They do require some maintenance yearly to descale the system with white vinegar.
