Q: What size tankless water heater to replace a 50-gallon water heater?

• <div><p>A tankless water heater with a flow rate of 10 GPM should replace a conventional 50-gallon water heater. To avoid a surprise cold shower or two and to keep your energy costs in check, it's important to replace a conventional tanked water heater with the equivalent tankless water heater.

Q: How long do gas water heaters last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-gas-water-heater-last.htm">Gas water heaters last</a> between eight and 12 years on average.

Q: Is a tankless water heater better than a storage tank water heater?

• <div><p>Tankless water heaters are more expensive than those with a storage tank, but they come with some impressive benefits that most homeowners find worth the higher investment. Most importantly, they provide unlimited hot water, so you&rsquo;ll never run out like you would with a storage tank. Tankless heaters are also more efficient, so comparing gallon-for-gallon, you&rsquo;ll spend less on hot water with a tankless heater. Tankless water heaters are also smaller, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer than storage tank water heaters.</p></div>

Q: Can a heat pump water heater work in colder climates?

• <div><p>Yes, a heat pump water heater can work in colder climates but it&rsquo;s much more effective where it&rsquo;s warm.
