What’s the Difference Between Tank & Tankless Water Heaters?
It may be time to replace your water heater if you’ve had multiple short-term repairs or if it’s over ten years old and dramatically lost efficiency. However, it can be confusing to decide between tank and tankless versions. Though these systems are available in gas and electric, we recommend choosing the energy currently used in your space to minimize installation costs.
Traditional tank water heaters are a low-cost investment because of their simple installation and maintenance. Over time, they can cost more because of their shorter lifespan and lower efficiency. They also need significant space, preventing you from adding more storage or other systems. These units typically come as 30 gallons tanks that can take minutes to heat water.
Consider a tankless or on-demand water heater for hot water in less than 25 seconds. Though it may have a higher installation price, it reduces costs over time to save about $100 a year because of its significantly increased energy efficiency and longevity. A tankless system lasts twice as long as tank units, about 20 years. Since it doesn’t store water, it doesn’t need to heat gallons of water before you receive hot water, and it doesn’t experience mineral build-up that causes limescale.
If you’re still unsure which water heater to choose for your space, don’t hesitate to reach out to our professionals for more advice. First Option Plumbing focuses on quality service above all else when you need expert water heater installation in Orange County.

Typical Water Heater Issues
Any of your plumbing appliances or fixtures can break down at inconvenient times. We’re here for you 24/7, with same-day appointments, so you’re never without fast solutions.
Your water heater may experience these problems:
- No hot water
- Water is too hot
- Leaks
At the first sign of issues with your water heater, troubleshoot by looking for a tripped breaker or unlit burner, depending on if your unit uses electricity or gas. If you aren’t receiving hot water and this troubleshooting doesn’t solve the issue, we can replace the faulty heating element. If the water is too hot, lower the thermostat to decrease the temperature and energy usage. If this doesn’t make a noticeable difference, the pressure valve has malfunctioned and needs to be repaired.
Leaks are a common concern for any plumbing system. Tighten loose connections around the unit to troubleshoot, but it's time to replace them if you notice corrosion, rust, or water coming from somewhere besides the links. Let us provide quality service above all else if you’re struggling to receive the hot water you deserve.
