Choosing the Right Water Heater: Storage Tank or Tankless?
When it is time to replace your hot water heater, you have the option of a traditional water heater with a storage tank or a tankless water heater. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of system. We have extensive knowledge of hot water heaters to fully explain your options, help you compare products, and select the best hot water heater for your specific needs, whether for your home or business.
Tankless hot water heaters offer benefits that include:
- Requiring less space for installation
- A constant supply of hot water on demand
- Superior energy efficiency
A primary disadvantage of tankless water heaters is their higher initial cost compared to traditional water heaters. While they require a greater upfront investment, tankless water heaters use less energy and have a longer lifespan. The money you save on lower home utility costs and longer equipment life can offset the price difference.

Annual Water Heater Maintenance & Flush Routine
Performing an annual flush on your water heater is a straightforward yet essential maintenance task that helps ensure your unit operates efficiently. Over time, sediment and minerals, particularly in regions with hard water, can accumulate at the bottom of the tank. This buildup can force your water heater to work overtime, leading to increased energy costs, diminished hot water supply, and even a shortened lifespan for the system.
Flushing the tank once a year removes this sediment, which helps:
- Improve heating efficiency
- Extend the life of your water heater
- Reduce the risk of corrosion and leaks
- Ensure a consistent hot water supply
It’s advisable to regularly flush both gas and electric water heaters, as this simple maintenance step can help safeguard your investment and prevent expensive repairs down the line.

FAQ's
- What happens during a water heater installation?
- A water heater installation starts with disconnecting and removing the old unit, then setting the new tank or tankless unit, connecting the water and gas or electric lines, and testing for leaks before restoring hot water to the home. Most tank replacements are finished within a few hours. Cotti Johnson HVAC installs water heaters for homes throughout Taunton, Massachusetts.
- Is a leaking water heater an emergency?
- A leaking water heater should be treated as urgent, since a failing tank can release many gallons of water quickly and cause serious flooring or drywall damage, and in some cases signals a tank about to fail completely. The water and power or gas supply to the unit should be shut off right away. Cotti Johnson HVAC responds quickly to water heater leaks in Taunton and Bristol County.
- What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
- A tank water heater stores and continuously reheats 40 to 80 gallons of hot water, while a tankless water heater heats water on demand as it flows through, taking up less space and often lasting longer with proper maintenance. Tankless units typically cost more upfront to install. Cotti Johnson HVAC installs both types for homeowners across Plymouth County, Massachusetts.
- How much does a water heater replacement cost?
- A standard tank water heater replacement typically costs $1,200 to $2,500 installed, while a tankless unit can run $3,000 to $5,500 depending on the home's gas or electrical setup. Most tank units last 8 to 12 years before replacement is needed. Cotti Johnson HVAC installs both types for homeowners throughout Taunton, Massachusetts.
- Can I install a new water heater myself, or do I need a plumber?
- Installing a water heater yourself is not recommended, since the job involves working with gas or high-voltage electrical connections, pressure relief venting, and code requirements that a licensed plumber is trained to handle safely. A poorly connected unit can leak or create a carbon monoxide risk. Cotti Johnson HVAC installs water heaters to code for homeowners in Taunton, Massachusetts.
- Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Massachusetts?
- Massachusetts generally requires a permit to replace a water heater, since the work involves gas, electrical, or venting connections that need inspection to confirm they meet state plumbing code. A licensed plumber typically pulls this permit as part of the job. Cotti Johnson HVAC handles permitting for water heater replacements throughout Norfolk County, Massachusetts.
- What are the warning signs that a water heater is failing?
- Warning signs of a failing water heater include rusty or discolored hot water, a rumbling or popping sound from sediment buildup, water pooling around the base, and a tank older than 8 to 12 years. Any one of these signs means the unit should be inspected before it fails completely. Cotti Johnson HVAC inspects water heaters for homes throughout Taunton, Massachusetts.
- How long does a typical water heater last?
- A typical tank water heater lasts 8 to 12 years, while a tankless model can last 15 to 20 years or more with regular maintenance like annual flushing to remove mineral buildup. Water quality and usage also affect how long a unit performs well. Cotti Johnson HVAC recommends replacement planning as a unit approaches the end of its expected life for homes in Bristol County, Massachusetts.
