In addition to the ongoing energy use, you will also only be able to use as much hot water as the tank can store, and once the hot water is depleted, you will need to wait until the fresh cold water has been heated up and ready to use.Ĭombi-Boilers & Tankless Water Heaters - These types of water heating products only produce hot water when the owner opens a hot fixture somewhere in the home. You are paying to heat and store water all the time, just to use it sporadically through the day. However, that means that energy is being used just to keep a large supply of hot water on standby. The benefit of course, is that the stored water is already hot and ready for use at any time. Heated Storage Tanks - The water contained in such a water heater is being heated throughout the day and night, regardless of whether you are using it or not. This is a perception that is most commonly noted by owners that have recently switched to a combi-boiler or a tankless water heater after moving away from using a heated storage tank to produce and store Domestic Hot Water (DHW).
