Top 3 Reasons to Consider a Tankless Water Heater

When your traditional water heater no longer meets your needs for efficient performance, it’s time for a replacement. Rather than choosing a similar system, consider a tankless water heater installation. This type of system offers advantages that you can’t find with a traditional water heater tank. Learn why you may feel more satisfied with a tankless system by reviewing the following benefits.

1. Enjoy Hot Water on Demand

A traditional water heater has a tank that stores at least 40 gallons of water. While that sounds like a large amount of water, a small household can use that water quickly. Once the supply runs out, it will take time to refill the tank and heat the water. If you share a home with several people, running out of hot water can become an ongoing nuisance.

You can eliminate this problem with a tankless water heater because this system heats water as it’s needed. By heating the water as it runs through the system, you’ll also avoid the buildup of sediment that is common in water heater tanks. This means you’ll enjoy clean and hot water anytime you need it.

2. Reduce Energy Waste in Your Home

To provide access to hot water, your tank must keep heating the water on a continuous basis. Even when no one is home or in need of hot water, the system uses energy to keep the water hot. While this might seem convenient when it comes to hot water accessibility, think about the amount of energy the tank uses on a 24-hour basis.

With a tankless water heater installation, you eliminate the need to keep heating the water supply. The system only heats the water needed for your immediate use. This will lower your energy usage and result in cheaper utility costs each month.

3. Lower Your Maintenance Costs

Maintenance for a traditional water heater involves flushing the tank, removing sediment, and servicing the individual components. If you have hard water, you might need to flush the tank more frequently. 

A tankless system doesn’t require the same type of maintenance. An annual inspection and tune-up will get your system ready for efficient use. The tune-up takes less time and labor, making these yearly service calls more manageable.
