Check Out the Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters
While standard water heaters hold volumes of hot water in an insulated water tank to be used at any time, tankless heaters produce hot water on demand. Cold water enters the tankless unit and exits immediately, fully heated to the target temperature.
A gas burner or electrical resistance heating coils heat the water, depending on if the heater is a gas water heater or an electric water heater.
There are several benefits of tankless water heaters.
- Energy-efficient (reduce energy usage by up to 40 percent)
- Reduces energy bills by up to 30 percent
- Extended lifespan of up to 20 years
- Neverending hot water regardless of usage
- Compact (wall installation)
- Less maintenance due to innovative design
Despite being more expensive than a storage tank heater, tankless heaters are becoming more popular because they are more efficient over a long period. This means that while homeowners may pay a premium to purchase and install a tankless water heater upfront, their energy bill will be lower in the long run compared to other water heaters.
