The free guide will provide homeowners with critical information they need if they're comparing water heaters before cold weather sets in.

New Port Richey, Florida, United States, November 13, 2026 -- Compass Plumbing is pleased to announce that it has released a new guide to help homeowners in the New Port Richey area decide whether to get tankless or tank water heaters for their homes. The firm, which is licensed, bonded, and insured, says the guide will assist families with decisions about what will suit their home best as they replace old units before the cooler months arrive.

The tankless vs. tank water heater guide is written by Compass Plumbing's founder and master plumber, James Carson, and explains every option in detail. He points out that traditional tanks are generally better for homes looking for more affordable solutions or those that operate entirely electrically. Tankless systems, by contrast, are suitable for properties with a natural gas supply and heavy hot water usage throughout the week.

Carson said the following about the guide:

“I know a lot of homeowners in Pasco County are worried about hard water in the area and its effect on water heaters. I generally recommend that homeowners descale tankless heater units annually and use water softeners where available. I also want to make homeowners aware that if there is a power outage, most tankless water heaters won't run because they need electricity.”

At the same time, though, Carson points out that a U.S. Department of Energy field study suggested that tankless gas units save around 33% on water heating compared to regular storage heaters. This is a function of their tankless design.

The guide also describes the third option: heat pumps. According to the Department of Energy, these are between 100% and 200% more efficient than conventional electric units, although they may not provide the immediate heating that the latter does. Carson details various types of hybrid units and also the telltale signs that a water heater is due for replacement.

Besides its expertise in water heater units, Compass Plumbing also maintains gas, electric, hybrid, and traditional water heaters. Homeowners can contact the team via the website or by phone at (727) 717-0590.
