After your heating and air conditioning system, not much else in your home consumes more energy in your home or commercial space than your water heater. And unlike your heating & air conditioning systems which only run seasonally, your tank or tankless water heater needs to work flawlessly every single day of the year.
That’s where Harmonic Heating & Air Conditioning come in.

Unlike traditional storage tank water heaters, tankless water heaters do not store a reservoir of hot water. As a result, standby losses are reduced, which makes them an energy-efficient alternative to traditional water heating. When water flow is detected, they begin heating water, making them highly efficient and cost effective. When the demand for water ceases, they enter standby mode and use essentially no energy.
There will always be hot water – endless hot water – for bathing, cooking, dishes, laundry, and all of the other countless ways hot water enriches our lives.
Tankless water heaters consume a fraction of the space consumed by a tank heater. They can be mounted inside or outside.
Because tankless heaters do not store water, they are less subject to corrosion than tank-type heaters. As a result, their expected equipment life is possibly longer - possibly more than 20 years, compared with 10 - 15 years for traditional heaters. Also, because they are not heating 40 - 50 gallons of water 24 hours a day, tankless water heaters are less susceptible to leakage than tank-type water heaters.
Conventional storage water heater fuel sources include natural gas, propane, fuel oil, and electricity. All conventional water heaters store hot water 24 hours per day in a storage tank, typically ranging in volume from 20 to 120 gallons.
To minimize stand-by losses you should consider water heaters that offer higher levels of tank insulations. Often the lowest-priced storage water heater may be the most expensive to operate and maintain over its lifetime.
There will always be hot water. Endless hot water - for bathing, cooking, dishes, laundry, and all of the other countless ways hot water enriches our lives.
We carry a wide variety of gas and electric tank water heaters. They are often the lowest installed cost choice for replacing an existing system.
However if you do not have natural gas or you have a larger family you should consider other choices like tankless water heaters that offer higher performance and lower total cost over the life of your water heater.
