Tank, tankless, hybrid
Comparing water heater types
Traditional tank heaters store a supply of hot water. Tankless models heat water on demand instead of keeping a full tank hot and take up less space. Hybrid heaters use heat pump technology with a storage tank, and Marathon models are electric storage heaters with a non-metallic tank.
Fuel type matters as well. Gas and electric systems connect differently, and switching from one to the other can involve more than the heater itself. Trident explains how each option would fit your existing connections and the space available.
