Tank vs. tankless
- Tank units cost less up front and last 8–12 years.
- Tankless cost more but last longer and only heat water on demand.
- Fuel type (gas vs. electric) affects operating cost.
Permits: A permit may be required for this project. Verify with your local authority before you start.
These estimates are based on state-level averages, not ZIP-level precision. The final cost varies with your home and local market.
