Tank Water Heaters: Reliable, Straightforward, & Cost-Effective
Traditional tank water heaters store between 30 and 50 gallons of water, keeping it heated continuously until it's needed. They're well understood, widely available, and generally less expensive to purchase and install than tankless alternatives. For households with straightforward hot water demands, a properly sized tank unit delivers dependable performance at a reasonable cost over a lifespan of eight to twelve years.
When it's time for a replacement, we assess your household's actual usage, the number of occupants, peak demand times, and available fuel sources before recommending a tank size. That is because oversizing wastes energy, while undersizing results in cold showers. Getting that calculation right is one of the most important parts of the installation, and we take the time to do it properly.

Tankless Water Heaters: On-Demand Hot Water & Long-Term Efficiency
Tankless water heaters heat water as it flows through the unit rather than storing it, which eliminates the standby heat loss that traditional tanks produce around the clock. The result is a continuous supply of hot water on demand and meaningful energy savings over time, particularly in larger households where a tank system struggles to keep up. Tankless units also last significantly longer, often 20 years or more with proper maintenance.
Matthew's Plumbing Solutions has extensive experience installing Navien tankless systems, one of the leading brands in the industry. Tankless installation is more involved than a standard tank swap; it often requires gas line modifications, updated venting, and precise electrical work, which is why choosing a licensed, certified team matters. We handle everything from start to finish safely and efficiently.
Choosing the Right Water Heating System for Your Home
The decision between a tank and a tankless system comes down to a few key factors: upfront budget, long-term energy priorities, available space, and your household's daily hot water usage.
Here's a quick look at what sets them apart:
- Traditional tank water heaters. Lower upfront cost, simpler installation, and reliable performance for most households.
- Tankless water heaters. Continuous hot water, greater energy efficiency, longer service life.
- Navien tankless systems. Premium performance and efficiency, installed by our certified team.
Financing through Service Finance is available for qualifying projects over $500, making it easier to choose the right system without letting budget constraints force a compromise you are not comfortable making.
Your household deserves reliable hot water and a system built to last. Get in touch with Matthew's Plumbing Solutions at (919) 769-3924 or contact us online to schedule a free estimate for water heater installation and replacement in Raleigh, NC, today.
