Water heaters are responsible for supplying your home with heated water by using energy to covert cold water to hot water. Traditional water heaters use a storage tank to hold heated water until it is needed. They typically run off of natural gas, but electric and propane heaters are also common. When purchasing a new water heater, or simply replacing your old one, you should decide on which model and size tank will best suit your needs for your home or business. Mattex Service Company

will help you make the right decision. Call us and talk to one of our licensed plumbers about all the plumbing needs for your home or business.

Tankless water heaters heat water without the use of a storage tank. Therefore, they avoid the standby heat losses associated with storage water heaters. When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water travels through a pipe into the unit. Tankless heaters are available in both electric and gas models, both heating the water in a similar method as it passes by a heating element. As a result, they deliver a constant supply of hot water. You don't need to wait for a storage tank to fill up with enough hot water. Typically, tankless heaters provide hot water at a rate of 2 – 5 gallons per minute. This type of water heater is frequently used in radiant heat applications.
