Tankless water heaters, sometimes
known as instantaneous, continuous flow, inline water heaters, are the perfect
alternative to conventional tank heaters.
Tankless water heaters
heat water on demand or instantly rather than keeping hot water in reserve like
conventional tank heaters. Tankless water heaters use less energy than tank
heaters which in turns means lower energy bills for you.
Tankless water heaters can
be operated electrically or with natural gas or propane. Gas tankless water
heaters can heat more water faster while electric tankless water heaters need
access to a lot of electric power to rapidly heat water.
Tankless water heaters are very
efficient when it comes to energy conservative. Tankless water heaters have
efficiency ratings at nearly 99%.
Most tankless water heaters
supply hot water for the whole-house including appliances. The tankless water
heaters that supply hot water for the whole house are largest of the tankless
water heaters. Point-of- use tankless water heaters are smaller units and can
be placed under sinks or other easy access areas.
Point-of-use tankless water
heater units provide hot water for a specific outlet versus the whole house.
Point-of-use tankless water heaters are located right where the water is being
used and save more energy than centrally installed tankless water heaters, but
are usually used in combination with a central water heater because of their
small tank size.
Generally speaking, tankless
water heaters are good choices because they don't take up much space and can be
hidden out of site. So, you won't have to worry about people looking at it.
Here are a few reasons why you
should look into tankless water heaters…
Unlimited hot water- As water is
heated while passing through the system an unlimited supply of hot water is
available with a tankless water heater however, this can also be a disadvantage
as running out of hot water self-limits use while a tankless heater has no such
limit.
Size- Tankless water heaters can
be mounted under a sink, in an easy access area, or anywhere else you think
would be a good location. Because there is no tank, the places of where it can
go are virtually endless.
Water damage is
minimized-Tankless water heaters have no tanks to store water, so there are no
chances of water damage do to a leak or hole in the tank. There are still risks
of water damage from faulty parts such as improper piping or bad fittings.
Longevity-Tankless water heaters
haven no tanks meaning tankless water heaters will outlast the conventional
water heater twice as many years because corrosion is due to standing water in
the tank. The corrosion on the tankless water heater will be on the pipes or
around the fittings vs. the tank.
Environmentally Friendly-
Tankless heaters are designed to only use gas and water when they are being
used. Therefore, you are not wasting
resources to heat the water in a conventional water heater.
