Traditional Water Heaters
A traditional water heater is normally located in the basement or laundry room. It is equipped with a heating mechanism either inside the tank or at the bottom. Traditional water heaters make use of the heat rising principle to supply a home with hot water. The secret to a traditional water heater's ability to separate cold incoming water from the heated outgoing water is the theory that heat rises above denser cold water.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters are becoming more popular with homeowners because they are energy savers and offer convenience. Traditional water heaters have tanks filled with water that are constantly heated by the heating mechanism to maintain its hot temperature. This ensures that there is always hot water available when you turn on the hot water.
