Hot Water Tanks and Tankless Water Heaters in Calgary
-
A hot water tank stores and heats a set amount of water (commonly 40–60 gallons for homes). It’s a simple, cost-effective solution that works well for households with steady hot water needs.
Things to Consider
Average lifespan: 8–12 years
Uses more energy since water is heated continuously
Can run out of hot water if demand is higher than the tank size

A tankless (on-demand) water heater heats water only when needed, providing an endless supply of hot water without a storage tank. These compact, efficient systems are becoming increasingly popular in Calgary homes and businesses.

May require upgrades to your gas or electrical system
Proper sizing and installation is essential for performance
