The benefits of both are compelling, but the ultimate determining factor of which is going to be the best is the water demands of your home. We can help match you do the right system.

Understanding the Needs of Your Home

Do you know what your home needs when it comes to the water heater in your home? It’s important to know because your water heater accounts for nearly 17% of a home’s energy use. It consumes more energy than all your other household appliances combined. The biggest factors in determining what type of water heater you need are space and capacity.

We’ll factor the type of water heater you need in your home based on the number of people in your home, the amount of water you use in your home daily, the size of your home, and the construction of your home. With professional help, we’ll also factor in things like the recovery rate (the number of gallons of water that the system can heat in an hour) and efficiency ratings.
