Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless systems do not rely on the reserved hot water in a tank but instead heat it instantly as it passes through the unit. Therefore there is always hot water available.
Over the last ten years, tankless water heaters have become popular with homeowners nationwide. Many homeowners appreciate tankless water heaters’ significant advantages over traditional tank units.
Homeowners in the market for a water heater should understand why a tankless water heater may be a wise choice for their home.
Say goodbye to cold showers
If more than people live in a home, chances are a battle for hot water rages daily. It’s nearly impossible to ensure everyone has hot water in the morning; inevitably, someone has a cold shower.
A tankless water heater solves that problem instantly. Tankless systems do not rely on the reserved hot water in a tank but instead heat it instantly as it passes through the unit. Therefore there is always hot water available.
Higher rate of distribution
Since tankless water heaters create hot water on demand, performing several activities simultaneously while utilizing the tank is possible. For instance, the dishwasher may be running while the washing machine is going, and three people are taking showers, and the system will continue producing hot water without running out. Tankless systems are designed for high-volume distribution.
A space saver
Tankless water heaters are about 1/5 the size of a traditional tank unit. They can generally be installed on the wall and connected to the water system. And because they are safer than tank heaters, they can be placed in areas where a tanked heater can not be installed.
Water conservation
Because a traditional tank water heater requires room, they are installed in out-of-the-way spaces such as the garage. As a result, the hot water may take several minutes to travel through the home, and the water heater requires 20 to 30 minutes to refill and reheat the reserve.
Tankless heaters last longer
A traditional tank water heater carries a 6 to 10-year warranty and lasts up to a decade with routine maintenance. By comparison, a tankless unit can have a 10 to 15-year warranty and last up to two decades. Therefore, they’re a much better investment in the long run. With this in mind, a tankless unit instantly adds value to a home.
With tankless units, however, there is no more waiting for the water to heat up. It happens instantly. Not only does this save time since the shower is ready immediately, but it also saves money on the water bill. It helps homeowners conserve water while still doing everything they always do and is a more efficient method of heating water.
Huge savings
It’s simple: tankless units run far more efficiently and use less energy than tank units. Since they use less water (no more waiting) and run more efficiently because they are not working to keep a supply of water hot, they save homeowners money each month on their water and electricity bills. The average tankless water heater helps save up to 30% on utilities annually.
Purer water
The reserve can rust and contaminate the water as a tank heater ages. This problem is instantly solved with tankless heaters. In addition, with tankless systems, the water is cleaner; thus, it is safer for household tasks.
