Tankless water heaters are popular in Corona’s newer homes and remodels. Here’s the honest breakdown:
Pros
- 20-30% less gas usage
- Unlimited hot water
- Lasts 20+ years with maintenance
- Takes half the space of a tank
Cons
- $2,000-$3,500 installed (vs $1,000-$1,800 for tank)
- Hard water scale buildup requires annual descaling in Corona
- May struggle with 3+ simultaneous showers
- Power vent models need electricity — no hot water during power outage
Verdict
If you’re building new or doing a major remodel, go tankless. If your tank dies unexpectedly and you need a quick swap, a traditional tank is the practical choice.
