Tank or Tankless? We’ll Help You Compare Your Options
Curious whether a tank or tankless water heater is right for your Peoria home? We evaluate your household demand, fuel source, and existing setup to help you find the right fit for your property.
Tank water heaters are the common choice for older homes in areas like Old Town Peoria, Sunrise Mountain, and Westbrook Village that are already plumbed and vented for a tank system. The upfront cost is lower, and a 40- to 50-gallon unit easily covers a two- to three-bathroom layout, but there is standby heat loss and a shortened service life in Arizona’s summer heat to consider.
Tankless water heaters are a better fit for larger north Peoria builds and custom homes along Lake Pleasant Parkway that have four or more bathrooms and long pipe runs. Tankless systems eliminate standby loss, free up garage space, and provide a longer service life than tank units.
If you want to convert from a tank to a tankless unit, you’ll often need an upsized gas line and new venting, which add to your project cost. Every tankless unit also requires annual descaling to prevent scale buildup on the heat exchanger. If you’re not sure which system fits your property, we’ll guide you through your options and help you choose the smarter option for your property.
