TUCSON, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2021 / Cummings Plumbing was recently featured in an article published in Augusta Free Press. In the article, the plumbing and HVAC company provided their expertise on hot water supply systems. More specifically, the article was centered on whether homeowners should choose a tank or tankless hot water system for their home.
Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling of Tucson, Arizona, is one of the leading plumbing and HVAC companies in the United States. They are experts in everything from plumbing and electrical to water heater repair and trenchless pipe repair.
The article shares the main differences between tank water heaters and tankless water heaters. Tank water heaters are physical tanks that supply hot water to homes either by electricity or fuel. They claimed that of the fuel-powered tanks, natural gas tanks are the most popular; however, oil-based heaters are also popular in certain parts of the United States.
Cummings Plumbing also described tankless water heaters and how they heat water "on the fly," as opposed to storing hot water in a tank like the tank-based water heaters do. Tankless hot water systems heat up the water by producing cold water that flows over a heating element, such as a coil pipe, which heats it up instantaneously.
The next portion of the article is a comparison of tank and tankless heaters, providing a few pros and cons of each. For example, tankless systems are often ideal for smaller homes or anyone cramped for space, as they do not require a bulky tank to operate. Further, tankless water heaters are typically more reliable than tank water heaters, as "the supply of water flowing through the heating element is constant." That said, one pro that hot water tank systems offer is that they have higher flow rates than tankless systems.
Cost is another major concern that the article touches on. Tankless water systems are often more expensive upfront, but they tend to last longer and are more energy-efficient in the long-run, which could save you money. Whichever way you're leaning, Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling always recommends that homeowners hire a professional plumber to take a look and get an opinion before making a firm decision.
The article concludes by asking the question, "which hot water supply system is right for your home?" To this, Cummings Plumbing answered that although their preference is the tankless hot water system, it ultimately comes down to the existing infrastructure that's in place.
"If you're renovating a home or building a home from scratch, the tankless option may be the better option. However, if you live in a home that already has a tank-based hot water supply system installed, then sticking with the existing system is likely to be the best option," shared Cummings Plumbing.
