There are plenty of days in Pensacola when you might want to take a cold shower. It gets pretty warm around here after all. With that said, those cold showers are voluntary. No one enjoys getting bathed in icy cold water without planning for it.

This is exactly what you want to avoid happening in your home. And the best way to avoid getting a cold however when you aren’t planning on one is to ensure that your hot water heater is in good working condition. If it isn’t, you may be in need of a new hot water heater.

If you are in need of a new water heater replacement in Pensacola, FL and you think your only choice is the large tank option, you may be pleasantly surprised to find out there is more than one water heater type available to you.

What is a Tankless Water Heater?

It might be odd to picture a water heater without a tank but these systems are actually growing quickly in popularity. Tankless water heaters heat only the water you are actively using. This means that when you start up your shower or use the hot water tap in the kitchen, only then does your tankless water heater start warming water. This high energy efficiency system is great for those who want to minimize water use, would like some extra space, and don’t have high water demands.

The Details on Heat Pump Water Heaters

A heat pump water heater uses the same technology as the heat pump system that heats and cools the home. Heat pump water heaters transfer warmth from the air surrounding the water heater into the water itself. This is another type of water heater that utilizes a multi-gallon tank but the way it warms the water makes it much more energy-efficient.

Is a Tank Water Heater Your Best Choice?

Perhaps you had a tank water heater before now and you are wondering if simply replacing it with another similar system is your best choice. Based on your water heating needs, it may be! Tank or on-demand water heaters are still around for a reason–they are reliable, are increasingly energy-efficient, and provide a decent amount of hot water at a moment’s notice. If you have multiple people in your home and you need access to hot water for more than one big job at a time, an on-demand hot water heater is probably going to still be the best option for you.
