What is a Tankless Water Heater?
A tankless hot water heater is exactly what it sounds like. A tankless version of the traditional water heaters you are used to seeing in a home. They make hot water by heating cold water up as it passes through the unit instead of heating the water and storing it in a tank like your old water heater does.
What that means is that the standby energy cost that your old unit needs to keep the water hot is no longer needed, and in turn, can save you hundreds of dollars on your energy bills.
Here are some benefits to switching to a tankless hot water heater:
Energy Savings – as mentioned above, heating water only when hot water is needed saves homeowners a lot of money in annual energy costs
Water Savings – When hot water is needed, most people run water until it gets hot. A tankless system runs hot water through the faucet immediately, which saves water,
Less Space – Traditional water heaters take up a lot of floor space. Oftentimes they are located in shared areas like laundry rooms. Tankless water heaters are a lot smaller and can be mounted on the wall, allowing for other use of the floor space
Water Damage – Water heaters break down. When traditional units break, there is a serious risk of many gallons of water flowing out and causing costly water damage. Tankless heaters store very little water with the exception of a small amount in the heat exchange pipes. So there is very little risk of severe water damage.
Longevity – Tankless water heaters can last up to 20 years with annual preventative maintenance. That’s almost double a conventional hot water heater
Issues You May Encounter With On-Demand Water Heaters
Here are a couple of the most important things to remember before installing a new tankless water heater in your home. First, the up-front installation cost of a new tankless system might be higher than that of a traditional water heater, but they typically last significantly longer and can save you money down the line. Tankless water heaters cannot provide hot water during a power outage if they are set up as an electrical system. Whereas, some hot water is still available in the tank of traditional units. Also, if the right sized unit is not purchased for your home, overload can happen causing a slight delay in access to hot water. Lastly, there could be issues with the water flow rate, depending on the home’s water usage.
Installing a tankless water heater is an excellent investment for property owners looking to increase their property value and save money on energy costs. Homeowners should know the benefits and disadvantages of upgrading to a tankless water heater; this will help them make a decision if it’s right for their home.
