Hot Water Tank Efficiency & Sizing
When it comes to hot water tanks, getting the biggest water heater available is not always the smart option. A tank that may be more than your households need will end up wasting your money because you’ll still pay to keep the entire tank hot all of the time. Conversely, you don’t want to install a hot water tank that is too small and run out of hot water constantly when you need it.
When choosing a water heater, it is important to pay close attention to the energy efficiency rating of the model you are considering. Especially if you choose a model with a larger tank because your energy bills can really add up over time. Purchasing a hot water heater with a good energy efficiency rating may cost you more initially upfront, but it will save you a significant amount of money over the life of the unit.

Hot Water Tanks Vs. Tankless Hot Water Heaters
The first thing you’ll have to decide when looking at hot water heaters is whether you want a conventional hot water tank or a tankless model.
Conventional hot water heaters are more common in households and keep a tankful of hot water ready for whenever you require it. They usually run on either gas or electric and are less expensive then a tankless system. Ranging in sizes from 30 to 60 gallons, with most common size being 50 gallons.
In contrast, tankless water heaters, also known as on-demand water heaters, make hot water only when you turn on your taps. They are more cost efficient than conventional hot water heaters and also last about twice as long with proper maintenance. Although tankless water heaters are more expensive initially, they are more cost efficient in the long run, better for the environment and take up less room.
Signs that You may Need Water Heater Repairs or Replacement
Common Hot Water Tank Issues:
Water Leaks: A water leak is a common precursor to a water heater emergency. They generally start small, around valves at the top of your unit, or at the base, and in no time they can leak out gallons of water, resulting in water damage and in some instances even mold growth.
High Energy Bills: Increases in your utility bill can be the result of a faulty hot water heater.
Little To No Hot Water: If you find you are consistently running out of hot water without an increase in consumption there may be an issue with the temperature controls inside your unit.
Low Water Pressure: While low water pressure in indicative to several plumbing issues, like clogged pipes, if low water pressure only happens when you attempt to use hot water then more than likely your water heater may be the source of the problem.
Rust: Hot water tanks are made of metal, and when metal comes in to contact consistently with water eventually rust will form. The last thing any homeowner wants is for rust colored water to come pouring out of your fixtures, or for your tank to completely rust out and crack open
