Top 5 Reasons to Install a Tankless Water Heater

 

Assuming that water heaters are the topic of choice around your dinner table each night, like it is for Hot Water 911,  you have most likely talked about the buzz regarding tankless water heaters.  As with all things that buzz, the best thing to do is to become well informed before you make a water heater decision.  And that is why today, we will talk about…

The Top 5 Reasons to Install a Tankless Water Heater

1. You won’t run out of hot water.  In a tank type water heater system, when you’ve used up the hot water that is in the tank, you need to wait for hot water to regenerate again before you get more hot water.  With tankless, as the name implies, there is no tank.  You turn on your hot water for a shower, and you get continuous hot water.
2. Tankless water heaters don’t take up a lot of space.  The traditional tank type water heaters are large, somewhat cumbersome tanks that occupy a lot of territory wherever it is located.  If you have a small machine room or are in a condo with very limited space, tankless water heaters are space savers, easier to access and give you more room for other necessities.
3. Tankless water heaters are energy efficient.  Very simply because you only burn gas when you are using hot water.  In tank type systems, the gas needs to cycle on and off to assure that there is hot water in the tank.
4. Tankless water heaters reduce standby losses.  When you don’t need hot water, it’s not keeping water unnecessarily hot that you aren’t calling for.
5. Tankless water heaters provide clean, sediment free hot water.  Tank type water heaters, by virtue of their design, keep water standing in the tank until it is used.  This allows for the build up of sediment and deposits within the tank that get passed through when you turn on the water.

So, with this list of reasons to install a tankless water heater, you may be in a better position to determine if tankless is the way to go for your particular situation.   In a future post, Hot Water 911 will give equal time to the tank type water heater and discuss the virtues of going with a conventional tank type water heater.
