- Pre-heats 30 to 50 gallons regularly, so you will have hot water in the event of a power outage
Cons:
- Higher utility cost due to the tank always pre-heating
- Takes up a lot of space

Water Heaters: What's the Difference?
When it comes to choosing between a tankless water heater and a traditional water heater, it all comes down to efficiency, space, and usage. Traditional water heaters store and heat a set amount of water in a tank—typically 40 to 80 gallons—so hot water is available on demand, but once that tank runs out, you'll have to wait for it to refill and reheat.
Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, heat water instantly as it flows through the system, offering endless hot water without the need for storage. They’re more energy-efficient over time, take up less space, and typically have a longer lifespan. While tankless units have a higher upfront cost, many West Islip homeowners find the long-term savings and convenience worth the investment.
At Dashing Dan’s, we install, repair, and maintain both systems and can help you decide which option is right for your West Islip home.
