What's the advantage of an on-demand (tankless) water heater?

A tankless water heater is much more efficient as it "flash" heats the water.


DO I need a hot water take to go with the new heater?

Yes, you will need a hot water tank for your water heater. There are, however, some tankless water heaters on the market. They cost a bit more, but there is a federal tax credit on them.


Will adding another water heater boost the water pressure in the house in addition to giving more hot water?

No and yes. No, you won't get more water pressure. To do that you'll need to find out why the water pressure is low. Perhaps flow restriction, perhaps a poorly adjusted water pressure regulator, perhaps low pressure from the well/city water. But an additional water heater will certainly give you more hot water. It would be like putting in a LARGER water heater. In most cities the water pressure required is about 20 PSI. Small city's do not add pressure pumps to their system but use a gravity supply. That is why most places there is a pressure problem either build their water tanks taller or erect them on a hill.


Is solar heating of water more cost effective than electricalof water?

Solar water heating is generally more cost effective than an electrical water heater. Though solar water heaters usually have a higher initial investment if commercially purchased.

Is it possible to fix a water heater leaking from the top, or is it necessary to replace it entirely?

It is possible to fix a water heater leaking from the top by replacing the faulty part causing the leak, such as the temperature and pressure relief valve or the inlet or outlet pipes. However, if the leak is due to a more serious issue like a corroded tank, it may be necessary to replace the water heater entirely.


Is it possible to fix a hot water heater leaking from the top, or is it necessary to replace the unit entirely?

It is possible to fix a hot water heater leaking from the top by replacing the faulty part or seal. However, if the leak is extensive or the unit is old, it may be more cost-effective to replace the entire unit.


Is a tankless electric water heater more efficient than a gas water heater?

Normally NO


Will a faulty clutch fan make the heat in a Durango not come out as hot?

The clutch fan will not cause this issue. The more likely causes are a stuck open thermostat or coolant not flowing properly through the heater core.


Why is hot water pressure low but cold water pressure is good?

The issue could be due to a blockage or sediment buildup in the hot water line, causing restricted flow. Another possibility is a faulty or partially closed hot water valve. Consider checking the hot water heater or consulting a plumber to diagnose and resolve the problem.


What is wrong when the heater on a 1988 Lincoln Towan car blows only cold air when the heater is on?

An automobile's heater that blows only cold air could either be a faulty thermostat or, more likely, a faulty heater core. A trip to a mechanic or shop that specializes in radiator and cooling system repair should be able to diagnose and repair any problems.


Are hot water heater problems more common in the summer or winter?

Hot water heater problems are more common in the winter, due to the constant usage; this is especially true, if your water heater is run on gas.


What are the benefits of a small tank water heater compared to a traditional water heater?
