Water heaters are essential to ensure that the house gets hot water and that the homeowners won’t have to heat the water when using them. Since the heaters are vital for everyday use, homeowners must ensure that they have the right water heater for their needs. People must also know the size of the water heater they need.

The three types of water heaters that homeowners can have are the storage tank water heater, tankless water heater, and solar water heating system. Each water heater has its own specific sizing requirements.

Storage tank water heaters are some of the most common water heaters. They have an insulated tank that stores hot water until the homeowners need them. Such water heaters are suitable for larger households.

Tankless water heaters can be sized by determining the flow rate and temperature rise that the homeowners will need for their home. Such water heaters are more expensive upfront but are more energy-efficient in the long run. 

For solar water heating systems, homeowners will need to hire a professional to determine the requirements and collector sizing.

Professional plumbers can help homeowners have the right water heater for their homes and provide drain cleaning services to clear clogged drains.
