This is the type of water\nheater that you probably had in your home when you were growing up. The water\nheater creates hot water and then stores it in a big tank where it waits for\nyou to turn on one of your taps. Then the hot water flows toward this point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tank water heaters are great if you have a large family or\nyou\u2019re just one who wants ease of use at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Tankless<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re trying to take a walk on the eco-friendly or energy-efficient side, then you should definitely invest in a tankless water heater. Tankless water heaters are what people are referring to when they talk about \u201con-demand\u201d water heaters. These water heaters create the hot water right when you need it\u2014not a moment sooner or later. This eliminates the standby heat loss that tank water heaters face, and it helps you save time and money too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We try to make the breakdown as simple as possible for you\nhere, but if you\u2019d like service that\u2019s a bit more personalized to your home\u2019s\nneeds, then you should contact our professionals today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Contact Affinity Gas services for your water heater work today.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re ready to help you with your new water heater installation.
