How Do Storage Tank Water Heaters Work?

A standard water heater, as the name suggests, comprises a large insulated tank that heats and stores water until it's needed. These storage tank water heaters typically hold between 30 to 80 gallons of water, which is heated either by gas burners or electric coils.

Benefits of Traditional Water Heaters

The water heater landscape has evolved with a myriad of options, from tankless designs to solar integrations. Yet, the traditional storage tank water heater holds its ground in many households. Let's delve into the reasons behind its lasting appeal.

When to Replace Your Water Heater

1. Age

Most water heaters last between 8-12 years. If your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan, it’s time to consider a replacement. Lowe’s website link.

2. Frequent Repairs

Constant repairs can become costly and signify that the water heater’s overall integrity is failing.

3. Efficiency Concerns

Upgrading to a more energy-efficient model can save on utility bills and promote sustainability.
