Are you shopping water heaters in Memorial, TX? You may find this is a fairly simple task, although if you don’t know your options, it’s a good idea to explore them more. For instance, you may have gotten by for years with a conventional storage tank water heater, but that doesn’t mean that’s the best option for you now.
Tankless water heaters have grown in popularity in recent years, and for good reason. That’s not to say they don’t have their drawbacks, though. Just like any home comfort appliance or piece of equipment in your home, each type of water heater has its pros and cons, which we will cover below to help you make an educated decision.

Our team is happy to help you decide which water heater type will be best for your specific home and needs. Keep in mind that every home is unique. Regardless of what you end up deciding though, professional installation is essential.
Without a properly trained and experienced plumber, you could end up with a water heater that doesn’t work as it should or breaks down early simply due to how it was installed. It’s also important to keep up on your maintenance appointments to ensure that your water heater stays in good shape for the years to come. This is particularly true for storage tank water heaters, which are equipped with a component called an anode rod, to prevent rust from developing within the tank itself.
