Water Heater Pricing by Type

Here's how the three main water heater types compare.

When selecting a water heater, consider factors like efficiency, size, and brand reputation. Proper sizing ensures efficient operation that meets your household's hot water demands.

Tankless water heaters are much more efficient than standard water heaters, only heating the water that is currently being used. These are great options for larger households where multiple people use hot water at the same time.

Tier 1
Traditional Tank

Best for: Most homes looking for a straightforward replacement. Traditional tank water heaters are available in sizes ranging from 40 to 50 gallons, heat water in advance, and store it in a tank until needed.

A good choice when you want reliable hot water without changing your home's venting or electrical setup.
