Traditional vs. Tankless: Which Water Heater is Right for You?

Choosing between a traditional tank water heater and a tankless system depends on your home’s needs, budget, and lifestyle. Traditional systems store a set amount of hot water, making them ideal for larger households with consistent demand.

Tankless systems, on the other hand, heat water on demand, offering greater energy efficiency and unlimited hot water. Prantl Heating | Cooling’s experts will assess your home to ensure you get a system that fits your needs and maximizes your comfort.

Hot Water, Hot Questions: Water Heater FAQs

Water heater problems can be frustrating, but getting answers shouldn’t be. We’ve compiled some of the most common questions to help you keep your water heater running smoothly. From service costs to DIY tips, we’re here to help you make informed decisions about your home’s hot water needs.

The cost to service a water heater depends on the type of service needed. Routine maintenance, like flushing the tank or inspecting the anode rod, is usually on the lower end, while more extensive repairs may increase the cost. At Prantl Heating | Cooling, we offer transparent pricing and affordable service options so you know what to expect.

We recommend servicing your water heater at least once a year to keep it running efficiently. Annual maintenance includes flushing the tank to remove sediment, inspecting components, and checking for leaks. Regular servicing can extend the lifespan of your water heater and improve its performance so that you have consistent hot water year-round. If you have a high-demand household, consider more frequent check-ups to handle the extra wear and tear.

Some basic maintenance tasks, like flushing the tank or adjusting the thermostat, can be done by homeowners with the right tools and guidance. However, tasks like inspecting the anode rod or addressing leaks are best left to professionals to avoid potential damage or safety risks.

At Prantl Heating | Cooling, we offer expert water heater maintenance to handle the more complex tasks, giving you peace of mind and optimal performance. If you’re unsure about a DIY project, it’s always safer to call in the pros.

Real Customers, Real Reviews

"Chris and team were great. They were knowledgeable, honest, and efficient. Their pricing was in line with what I expected. I had called other HVAC companies around Vestavia that were trying to change 2x for the same thing. Then I called Prantl based upon a neighbors recomendation. I would recommend them to anyone. I love my new HVAC system and the install work is excellent."
- Jim C.
"Our heater motor quit working Friday at 1 pm on our HVAC. By 3 pm Prantl had installed a new motor. We purchased our HVAC several years ago from Prantl and they did an excellent job with installation, Thankfully, our new parts were still under warranty. You could not have asked for such a polite, honest, knowledgeable staff. Thank you Prantl for being there for us when we needed you!"
- Pat W.
"Chris and his team are amazing! My husband called this morning after our ac unit stopped late last night. He let them know we had a newborn in the house and with triple digit heat in the forecast they had a new unit installed before lunch! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Great family owned business, honest pricing, very professional and efficient installation, and an overall wonderful experience. Highly recommend them!!"
