When consider replacing your water heater, these days most people are considering both “tank” (conventional) water heaters as well as “tankless” water heaters. Bidon Plumbing Company has been installing water heaters from over 35 years. Most of our clients decide that a conventional water heater is the best fit for their needs. When considering whether a “tankless” water heater is right for you, it’s important to note that a tankless water heater can cost up to two-and–a-half times as much as a conventional water heater, but their benefit resides in their small footprint and energy efficiency. The ideal size of your tankless water heater depends on a number of variables such as the size of your home, number of appliances requiring the use of hot water, the number of people using those appliances, and the temperature of the ground water.  Installation of a tankless water heater should be performed by a licensed plumber. Installation of a tankless water heater by a non-licensed plumbing professional will likely void the manufacturer’s warranty. Contact us at 310-372-3565 or info@bidonplumbing.com to learn more about installing one at your home.
