For those of you who are looking to replace your water heater, a tankless water heating system should be at the top of your list. Tankless water heaters deliver everything that a traditional system does and then some.
Standard hot water tanks heat and store hot water regardless of household demand. This can lead to two major issues One, your hot water heater may fail to supply enough hot water. Two, energy may be wasted heating stored water for which there is no immediate demand. This is known as standby energy loss.
A tankless water heater provides the solution to both of these problems by heating and delivering hot water on demand, rather than heating it and then storing it in a tank. In other words, whenever you turn the knob on your faucet to dispense hot water, water is sent through the system’s heat exchanger, heated up and then dispensed into your sink, bath or shower. As you turn the knob to increase water flow, the heat exchanger works harder to maintain consistent temperatures.
Tankless systems are far more efficient at dispensing hot water than standard storage tanks, because they never create an excessive amount of hot water. Through the use of these systems, you can save a ton of energy, thereby allowing you to cut back on the costs of your utility bills.
There are many reasons why tankless water heaters are better options than traditional storage units, including:
- Reduced energy consumption
- Reduced monthly utility bills
- Unlimited hot water supply
- Simple installation and maintenance
- Effective design and a lifespan of up to 20 years
Tankless water heaters are the most efficient water heating option available.
