How Do Conventional Water Heaters Work?
Conventional water heaters are the traditional tank-type water heaters used by the vast majority of homes. They can be powered by gas, propane, fuel, oil, or electricity. As their name suggests, they use an insulated tank to hold hot water until it’s needed. Here’s how a storage tank water heater works:
- Cold water enters the bottom of the tank.
- A flame or heating element warms the water. If it’s oil-fired, an electric spark ignites burners where oil and air create a vaporizing mist.
- The hot water sits in the insulated tank until it’s needed. When you turn on the faucet, a pump at the top of the tank sends hot water to the appliance.
- As warm water is used, more water enters the bottom of the tank to restart the process
Why Choose a Storage Tank Water Heater?
Conventional water heaters are one of the most commonly used water heaters on the market, and for good reason! They offer a number of benefits that can save money and keep your hot water flowing optimally. Storage tank water heaters provide many advantages including:
- Minimal maintenance requirements
- Lower installation costs
- Compatible with almost all homes
- Supplies hot water even during power loss

WHY CHOOSE US?
“We had D&F replace a kitchen faucet at a rental we own in SE Portland. Teena was terrific on the phone, getting us scheduled quickly, and Tyler showed up on time and did a great job. Throughout, communication was excellent. We would recommend them to anyone, and will definitely use them again both at the rental and at our own house.”

“I called D and F to help me figure out how to turn the water back on that was accidentally turned off. They were supposed to call me back, but instead showed up within minutes and fixed the problem free of charge. I’m very happy with how they handled this issue and I’ll definitely be using them on the next job.”
Adam R.

D&F is the plumbing company I’ll use and I recommend them to everyone.”

Storage Tank Water Heater Sizes
Conventional water heaters come in various sizes from 20 gallons to 100 gallons. For most homes a 40 or 50-gallon water heater is sufficient. If you have a hot tub or you often run out of hot water, you may want to consider upgrading to a larger tank. You can rely on us to come to your home and help you determine which type of water heater is best for your needs and your budget.
Conventional Water Heater Cost
The cost of your storage tank water heater will depend on a few factors, including size and fuel type. Gas-powered conventional water heaters typically cost more initially but cost less to operate than electric water heaters. Electric conventional water heaters, however, are more efficient than gas-powered units. They also have higher energy ratings. Every home is unique. You can have us come to your home and provide you with an estimate before we install your unit and give you a better idea of what you could be paying yearly to operate your conventional water heater.
