What's The Difference?
Water heaters, regardless of traditional tank or tankless, are costly investments for homeowners. Whether you're a new homeowner with first time construction or you're replacing an old system, it's important to understand the pros and cons of tank vs tankless water heaters.
What is a Traditional Tank Water Heater?
Storage tank water heaters are found in the majority of homes. Essentially, a tank water heater is an insulated tank that holds between 30 and 50 gallons of water. This tank is used to heat and store the water until it's needed at it's destination. Destinations can include the kitchen, bathroom, or even laundry. Additionally, there are natural gas and electric water tanks. Natural gas tank water heaters utilize almost 50% less energy to operate, resulting in lower costs.

Tank vs Tankless Water Heaters
Summary
If a tankless water heater fits the budget, it can end up saving you money in the long run and have a longer lifespan; however, tankless water heaters can also have output restrictions. Though the water is hot instantly, if there are multiple destinations requiring hot water, one might suffer.
Storage tank water heaters offer a reserve of hot water and typically cost less for installation and maintenance, but take up more space, and if you run out of stored hot water, it can take a while for the water to warm up again.
When it comes to tank versus tankless water heaters, it really depends on what you are looking and how much hot water you need at a time, where the unit can go, and your long-term goals for the unit and its costs.

Testimonials
T HarrisonFebruary 22, 2024Had a great experience with Arizona Comfort Specialists! Josias was awesome during my initial quote and was very professional and knowledgeable about the Bosch systems (which was what I was most interested in). He noticed that my supply duct was a bit undersized for the unit and included an upsizing in the quote to allow the unit to have a better static pressure. They had great prices compared to my other quotes and a great warranty on the unit as well! On install day Bryan and I believe Tim? were a fantastic install team, they did a lot of hard work in the attic running the new flex ducts for the system. The unit had a bit of a dent on the louvers but they were able to come out that same day and replace the panel ASAP and the unit is looking great. Looking forward to a nice cool summer coming up!
Van HansenJanuary 16, 2024We use John and his team at Arizona Comfort Specialists all the time on our remodeling projects. They do great work, are reliable and stand behind their services. Highly recommend them!
James RooneyJanuary 9, 2024I've been working in all sectors of construction for 27 years. From residential to major commercial construction. I've crossed paths with a hell of a lot of HVAC Contractors in those years. It's safe to say, I've never worked with a HVAC company more professional than Arizona Comfort Specialists. Not only are their entire team (from office staff to field techs) a pleasure to work with but their owner (John) is both extremely knowledgeable and very gracious with his time when it comes to figuring out the intricacies of Air Conditioning (be it new install, retrofit, upgrade or servicing) as a whole. ACS are consummate professionals.

Gary WarnicaJanuary 5, 2024AZ Comfort Specialists did what they said, showed up on time, charged a fair price that didn’t exceed the estimate, performed excellent installation and clean-up!
