Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters

What Is a Tankless Water Heater? 

Traditionally, tank style water heaters are designed to maintain 60 to 100 gallons of water available for use at any given time. Tankless water heaters provide on-demand access to hot water when you need it. This is possible because of the high-powered electric or gas fire burner that heats water as it passes through the unit, offering instant warmth without overloading your monthly utility bills. 

Benefits of Switching to a Tankless Water Heater

The most popular reason for making the switch to tankless water heaters is the cost savings. Tankless units offer a drastic decrease of energy usage, particularly for those who have an older water heater. The rewards don’t stop there, however. Tankless units will also keep the warm water flowing since it is heated as it runs through the pipes. There’s no need to wait around for the tank to fill back up and reheat. There is also less risk of indoor flooding, since the unit will not be holding water. Additionally, tankless water heaters take up much less space, and can even be mounted on the wall, underneath a cabinet or behind a cupboard. They also require less maintenance and have a longer life span when compared to conventional water heaters. 

How to Determine Which Kind of Water Heater is Best for Your Needs 

A tankless water heater is a great option for those who have a smaller space, want to prioritize long term financial savings and don’t use a lot of hot water at one time. On the other hand, if you think you will use more than two to five gallons of hot water per minute, or plan on moving to a different home in a year or two, you may want to stick to a traditional tank style heater or install more than one tankless water heater if you require large quantities of hot water.
