Advantages of a Tankless Water Heater
There are several benefits to switching over to a tankless water heater. On-demand heaters provide hot water more efficiently than a traditional hot water tank. With energy and water costs increasing, a small investment can pay itself off quickly.
A better way to heat water
These tankless water heaters are more efficient than their tank-based counterparts. A hot water tank keeps a supply of water heated constantly, usually via convection or resistor coils. When unused, the tank occasionally heats the water inside to maintain its temperature, wasting energy and increasing the monthly bill. These tankless options supply hot water on demand without wasting energy. On average, a tankless water heater only takes approximately 15 seconds to warm the water to the desired temperature.
Long-lasting
Modern tankless water heaters have a life expectancy of 20 to 25 years. Although a bit more expensive, the initial investment lasts much longer than a traditional water heater. They’re also much more durable. Their first maintenance and system check usually isn’t performed until the heater turns ten years old. And without a water tank, homeowners won’t have to worry about rust or leaks.
Increase the home’s value
An efficient tankless water heater will add to the home’s value. The housing market has turned “green,” and homes with tankless water heaters will attract modern buyers. In addition, younger buyers look for an eco-friendly and energy-efficient home, and a tankless heater will help tick their boxes easier.
Saves space
Without needing a large storage tank, tankless water heaters can free some much-needed space in a cramped home where every square foot of space matters. In addition, modern tankless water heaters take up a fraction of the space that traditional water heaters do, so installing one will open up some extra space in the house.
Endless hot water
Running out of hot water can be an all-too-common and unpleasant experience for traditional water heaters. In a large household, the person showering last can have an unexpected cold shower seconds after turning on the water. With a tankless water heater, this doesn’t happen. Tankless heaters heat water on demand while running through the pipes, so there will always be an endless hot water supply. Remember that tankless water heaters have limited throughput so that they can provide hot water to only a few faucets simultaneously.
Tankless water heaters are ideal
Saving on the energy bill, freeing up space, and having an endless supply of hot water on demand are just a few of the benefits of this modern, popular appliance. In addition, switching to a tankless system will increase the home’s value and make it more desirable to buyers looking to purchase a more eco-friendly and green home.
