Which is better? A tankless or tanked water heater?
Busy Bear Plumbing installs both traditional and Tankless Water Heaters and can help you choose the right system for your home and budget.
The best replacement water heater for your Paso Robles home depends on several things, including:
- Your preference for a tankless or traditional tanked water heater.
- Whether you prefer electric or gas.
- The GPM your household needs for the best hot water output.
- Whether you are looking to save money on the utility bill.
We ask questions such as the number of bathrooms in the home, how many people live there, how often you run the dishwasher, and how often you use hot water for cleaning, washing dishes, and doing laundry. Even though laundry has trended to cold and warm water, there are times when its necessary to run hot water loads.
- Tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand. They are energy efficient, reducing energy consumption by 24% to 34% over standard tank water heaters. Other benefits include a longer lifespan, up to 20 years, and space saving. Compact in size, they can be mounted on a wall, freeing up floor space for other uses.
- Traditional tank water heaters have lower upfront costs, are less complicated to install, and can handle heavy simultaneous use until the tank empties.Â
The final decision is yours to make. We provide as much information as possible so you can make an informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions About water heater replacement
What are the signs that a water heater is wearing out?
Signs that your water heater is wearing out include:
- Age. Traditional tank water heaters last between 8 and 15 years.
- Frequency of repairs.
- Leaks and puddles are major red flags. They could be due to a loose valve or condensation, but often indicate corrosion has eaten through the lining.
- Discolored hot water, brown or reddish colored water, indicates corrosion that eventually leads to leaks. Note that discolored water from the cold faucet can indicate a broken pipe or a problem with the water supply. Check with your water company, have the water tested, and call a plumber to locate leaks or breaks in the pipeline.
- Strange noises coming from the water heater, such as banging, popping or rumbling, can indicate sediment buildup. The buildup forces the heating elements to work harder, overheats the metal, and leads to damage.
- A water heater that produces inconsistent temperatures, or the hot water runs out faster than usual, most likely has heating elements or thermostat failures.Â
Do your water heaters have warranties?
We are dealers for leading water heater manufacturers, who provide warranties. Once we have installed and tested your new water heater, we advise that you register it with the manufacturer as soon as possible.
It’s also a good idea to read the warranty so you understand exactly what is covered, what maintenance is needed, and things that might invalidate the warranty.
You may also want to add the new water heater to your homeowners’ insurance policy.
How much does a new water heater cost?
The cost depends on several factors:
- Tankless water heaters are more costly than traditional water heaters, but last much longer. They are also less expensive to operate than traditional water heaters, saving 24% to 34% on energy costs. The lifespan and energy savings provide long-term return on the initial investment.
- The size of the water heater has a cost factor. You want to be sure what you choose has the capacity to deliver the GPM for your family’s hot water needs.
- Whether the water heater is electric or gas affects the price.
When you purchase a water heater from Busy Bear Plumbing, we:
- Give you upfront pricing, that includes the cost of the water heater and installation. There are not surprising hidden costs.
- Our work is guaranteed.
- Help you determine the best water heater for your needs and your budget.
- Deliver, install, and test your new water heater.
- Go over its operation and maintenance with you.
We also offer financing options that you may want to investigate.
Can you fix an older, leaking water heater so it will last a little longer?
Whether we can repair a leak in an aging water heater depends on the damage. If it’s a small leak with no major damage, we might be able to repair it, but we won’t mislead you if we can’t.
When the water heater is aging, ask yourself how much longer you want to keep repairing it. We realize that budget issues are often a factor. We are happy to work with you to help you reach a solution. If the leak is severe or causing water damage, contact our Emergency Plumber team for immediate assistance.
