Tank or tankless.
The right water heater gives you enough hot water without wasting energy. Here is how the two main types compare.

Standard water heaters
An insulated tank heats and stores water until you need it. Ideal for households, typically handling demand from multiple points in your home at the same time, in a range of storage sizes.

Tankless, on demand
Water is heated directly by gas or electric as it flows through the unit, giving a constant supply of hot water with no standby energy loss. For larger demand, two or more tankless units can work together.

Water heating FAQ
Q.01Tank or tankless?
Tank heaters store hot water and handle several fixtures at once. Tankless units heat on demand and avoid standby losses, but have a flow rate limit, so larger homes may use two or more. We will size it for you.
Q.02What size water heater do I need?
It depends on household size, fixtures and fuel source. AIMS will determine the right size and fuel for your home.
Q.03Do you design hot water space heating?
Yes. We work with your contractor on boiler output, heat loss, pumps, pipe sizing, expansion tanks and safety valves.
