A Word About Tankless Water Heaters
Gas-fired tankless water heaters can cut energy costs by up to half over regular storage heaters.  But their performance varies greatly between brands and models; including efficiency, durability and cost effectiveness.  Just some of the advantages of tankless water heaters include:

• Comfort and convenience
  Families appreciate continuous hot water so there is no more scheduling bathing times.
  Save space – tankless water heaters take up a lot less room than storage-tank heaters. Simply mount on a wall.
• Cost savings
  Reduce heating costs – enjoy monthly savings up to 40% off your utility bill
• Eco-friendly
  Go green – tankless water heaters are 30% more efficient than a storage-tank heaters
• Long-lasting and reliable:
  Tankless water heaters typically enjoy a significantly longer lifespan and most carry unsurpassed warranties
• Clean
  Clean water – with tankless you are not exposed to water that has been sitting in a tank with accumulated rust and scale

A Word About Warranties
In the store, water heaters look pretty much the same from the outside.  But after years of seeing the inside, we know that most of the time units with longer warranties are better water heaters.  Our experience is that longer warranties mean larger burners so water is heated faster and insulation is thicker so those units are more efficient.  Depending on your budget, we usually recommend brands with longer warranties.

Other Features
Glass lined tanks are designed to reduce corrosion inside the tank.  Brass drain valves are generally more durable than plastic alternatives.  Anti scale features are designed to reduce the buildup of mineral scale that can shorten the life of the heating element.
