Why a Tankless Water Heater? Why not!

Why a tankless water heater, the question should be - why not!  If you are in the process of replacing a traditional water heater or exploring ways to save energy at home then we recommend that you consider investing in a tankless water heater.

A tankless water heater, also called instantaneous or demand water heaters, provide hot water only as it is needed.  Traditional storage water heaters produce standby energy losses that cost you money.  A tankless water heater is used only when there is a demand for hot water.

Tankless water heaters work by heating water directly without the use of a storage tank. Therefore, they avoid the standby heat losses associated with storage water heaters.  When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water travels through a pipe into the unit.  In an electric tankless water heater an electric element heats the water.  In a gas-fired tankless water heater a gas burner heats the water. As a result, tankless water heaters deliver a constant supply of hot water. You don’t need to wait for a storage tank to fill up with enough hot water.

Although energy savings is a major consideration when investing in a tankless water heater, there are also other benefits to consider:

1)      An endless supply of hot water for the family – heat water on demand, and that means you never have to worry about running out of hot water.

2)      Endless supply of water for any size home

3)      No dirty tanks – water is heated as it passes through the unit so you will always be using a fresh supply of water.  This process eliminates the rust and build-up scale inside a traditional tank – which is where your hot water is being stored for use.

4)      Flexible installation – smaller

5)      Lowering water heating bills

There are many benefits to a tankless water heater that should be considered and we have only named a few.
