Why Go Tankless?

When it’s time for a water heater replacement or installation, some homeowners may think to install a traditional storage tank water heater. However, there is another type of water heater they may want to consider. Tankless water heaters have several advantages over traditional ones because of their lack of large storage tanks. This blog post will discuss the benefits of a tankless water heater installation.

Energy Efficiency

Tankless water heaters deliver remarkable energy efficiency benefits compared to their traditional counterparts, which results in lower water heating costs. A tankless water heater is more energy efficient than a storage water heater because it only operates when hot water is needed. This on-demand heating eliminates the standby energy losses associated with storage tanks that continuously heat water in preparation for when it will be needed.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, tankless models can be 24-34% more energy-efficient for homes that use 41 gallons or less of hot water daily than conventional storage water heaters. So, although tankless water heaters are more expensive to install, they can save money on monthly utility bills.

Endless Hot Water Supply and Space Savings

The technology in tankless water heaters can transform a household's hot water use. Unlike traditional storage tank models that run out of hot water once the tank’s hot water supply is used up, tankless water heaters heat water on demand as it passes through the unit, providing an endless hot water supply without the limitations of a tank's capacity. This means people won't be stuck taking a cold shower when they are the last person in line for the shower.

Because a tankless water heater doesn’t store hot water in a large tank, it is much more compact and can save space. Have homeowners ever considered how much space a bulky traditional hot water heater takes up? Tankless water heaters are smaller and can be mounted directly on the wall, freeing up valuable floor space in utility closets, basements, or garages where the water heater is located. This creates additional storage opportunities, which can be especially beneficial for homeowners in need of more storage space for seasonal decorations, tools, or other items.

Longer Lifespan

Another significant benefit of installing a tankless water heater is its longer lifespan compared to storage water heaters. Its superior longevity allows for water heater replacement to be needed less often, delaying expensive replacement costs. While a traditional storage tank water heater typically lasts about 10-15 years, tankless water heaters can operate for over 20 years with proper maintenance before needing to be replaced.

Their longer lifespan is because, unlike traditional tank water heaters, which continuously heat and store water in a tank, tankless units only operate on demand. This on-demand water heating leads to less wear and tear, and not having to store water helps reduce the risk of issues such as rust and corrosion, and sediment buildup.
