Types of Water Heaters We Install in Concord, NC
Concord homeowners have two primary options: a traditional storage tank heater or an on-demand tankless system. Here's what each means for your home:
Tank Water Heater Installation
A storage tank water heater holds 40 to 80 gallons of pre-heated water and supplies it on demand. Tank units are the most common system in Concord homes, particularly in established neighborhoods like Carriage Downs, Heritage Ridge, and homes along Concord Parkway. They run on natural gas or electricity, are straightforward to install, and carry the lowest upfront cost.
Best for: Homeowners wanting the lowest upfront cost or a straightforward like-for-like replacement
Installed Cost in Concord: Starting at ~$950 for a standard 40-gallon gas unit
Lifespan: 8-12 years
Installation Time: 2-3 hours for a standard job
Tankless Water Heater Installation
Tankless systems heat water instantly as it flows through the unit, no storage tank, no standby energy loss, and no running out of hot water. Gas-powered whole-home units are the most popular upgrade in Concord, especially in larger homes in Christenbury Village and Kensley where simultaneous demand is high.
Best for: Households of 3+ people, homeowners staying 5+ years, anyone tired of running out of hot water
Installed Cost in Concord: Starting at ~$1,950 for a whole-home gas unit (varies if gas line work needed)
Energy Savings: 20-35% reduction in water heating costs vs. tank units
Lifespan: 15-20+ years with annual maintenance
Installation Time: 3-5 hours depending on gas line and venting requirements
