Water Heater Installation:
Which Type of Water Heater is Best for Your Home?
Traditional Tank Water Heater Installation & Replacement
Traditional tank style water heaters have been a household standard for decades. These systems heat and store water in a large tank, continuously reheating water to maintain the desired temperature. While reliable, they can fall short in supplying consistent hot water during long showers or times of high demand—once the tank is empty, you’ll have to wait for it to refill and reheat. Additionally, because they keep water hot 24/7, even when not in use, they tend to consume more energy over time.
Traditional water heater installation may be the best option for your home.
- Lower Upfront Cost: Tank systems are typically more affordable to buy and install.
- Straight Forward Installation: Easier to install in most homes without needing upgrades to plumbing or electrical systems.
- Different Fuel Options: Traditional water heaters can be powered by electricity, natural gas and propane providing more flexibility with different types of fuel supply in your home.
- Familiarity: Many homeowners are more comfortable with a system they’ve used before and can perform simple tasks to maintain or fix the system, such as restarting a pilot light.
- Smaller Households: If your hot water needs are minimal, a tank system may be more than enough.

Tankless Water Heater
Installation & Replacement
Tankless water heaters are a modern, energy-efficient alternative that heats water only when you need by turning on a faucet. Without a storage tank, these compact units deliver a nearly continuous supply of hot water—perfect for long showers or large households. Since they only operate when hot water is being used, they reduce energy waste and offer lower utility bills. Though they come with a higher initial cost, tankless models often last 5 to 10 years longer than traditional tank style models, making them a smart long-term investment.
A tankless water heater system may be best for your home.
- Nearly Endless Hot Water: Heats water on demand, so you don’t run out—ideal for long showers or large families.
- Energy Efficiency: Uses less energy since it only heats water when needed, lowering monthly utility bills.
- Space Saving: Compact size makes it perfect for homes with limited utility space.
- Longer Lifespan: Tankless models typically lasts 5–10 years longer than tank style units, usually over 20 years!
- Environmental Benefits: More efficient energy use means a smaller carbon footprint, and up to 50% energy savings!
- Reduce Risk of Water Damage: Without a tank to store large volume of water, there’s less risk of leaks or flooding from leaks or ruptured tanks.

Water Heater Maintenance for Nashville Homeowners
Maintaining your water heater with routine maintenance is key to ensuring it runs efficiently and lasts longer. Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank and checking for leaks or damage in other system components, helps prevent costly repairs and extends the life of your water heater system. A well-maintained water heater operates more efficiently, saving you money on energy bills. It also reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns, ensuring you always have reliable access to hot water. Most water heater manufacturers require regular maintenance as a condition for warranty coverage so neglecting regular inspections can void your warranty and leave you covering unexpected repair or replacement costs.
How to Extend the Life of Your Water Heater
- Flush Your Water Heater Once a Year
Drain water from your water heater no matter the make or model once a year to clear out sediment and mineral deposits and buildup. - Check for Leaks or Rust
Take a quick look around your water heater every so often. If you see water pooling on the floor or rust on the tank, call a professional plumbing expert immediately. - Set the Temperature to 120°F
This temperature is hot enough for daily use but prevents scalding water temperatures and helps save energy while keeping the system from working too hard. - Listen for Strange Noises
Banging or popping sounds from the tank can mean mineral or sediment buildup inside signaling it’s time for maintenance. - Get a Yearly Inspection
Have a plumber check your entire water heater system once a year to keep it running safely and efficiently. - Have a Tankless System? Descale It
If you have a tankless unit, it should be cleaned out once or twice a year to keep it working right.
Don’t wait for water heater issues to disrupt your daily routine! Schedule your $149 water heater flush and full plumbing inspection today and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your system is running efficiently all year long. Regular flushing your water heater helps prevent sediment buildup, improving performance and extending the life of your water heater.

Water Heater FAQs
The lifespan of a water heater varies based on factors like the type, energy source, water quality, and regular maintenance. Typically, traditional tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years, while well-maintained models—especially tankless ones—can last up to 20 years.
When choosing the ideal water heater for your home, it’s important to consider factors such as your hot water needs, household size, available space, and budget. There are various models to choose from, including traditional tank-style units, tankless systems, gas, and electric options. Consulting with a plumbing professional can help you get an honest recommendation tailored to what works best for your specific home.
We suggest scheduling yearly maintenance for your water heater, including a thorough flush, to maintain its peak performance and condition. Regular professional water heater maintenance helps improve energy efficiency, keeps your warranty valid, and extends the lifespan of your unit.
Modern water heater models offer greater energy efficiency, improved heating performance, and a more compact design to help maximize your space. Investing in a new water heater can also save you money over time by avoiding frequent, expensive repairs—especially when repair costs exceed 50% for the price of replacement.
A leaking water heater can indicate a serious problem. If you notice a leak, immediately shut off the water and fuel supply to the unit. To avoid further damage to your water heater or home, it’s important to contact a professional for inspection and repair as soon as you detect any signs of leakage.
Saving energy and cutting down on electricity bills are top priorities for many of us. When it comes to conserving water, consider these effective options:
- Install low-flow showerheads to reduce water use without losing water pressure.
- Upgrade to a high-efficiency water heater model.
- Set your water heater temperature to a maximum of 120°F.
- Add insulation around your water heater to decrease heat loss by up to 45%.
- Keep an eye on your pressure relief valve, as a malfunction can cause excessive temperature or water pressure
