When you have a hot water heater, essentially you have a ‘tank’ of hot water. Water is fed into the tank by the feeder line (cold water) and is then heated by internal unit, which is powered by either gas or electric. There are a number of different size hot water heaters, but no matter how large one it, it requires time to heat up.
Tankless Hot Water Systems: The Latest Innovation
When you run out of hot water during your shower, it’s frustrating. However, the latest innovation in tankless systems means that you would never run out of hot water again. With a tankless hot water system, water is heated on demand, which means that no matter how long you need hot water, you’ll have it.
Clean Water All the Time
With hot water tanks, components inside the tank can become corroded and that leads to unclean water. With a tankless water heater, there is no idle water so you’ll know that what you’re getting is exactly the same as you would through the cold water pipes.
Space Saver
Another advantage with tankless water heaters is that they don’t require much space for installation. You can actually place these tankless systems closer to the parts of the house that require hot water the most, such as near the main bathroom or kitchen. They are quiet as well, so you wouldn’t have to worry about excessive noise, such as that found with air conditioning units or a furnace.
Save on Your Energy Bill
When you use a hot water tank, even when you aren’t using hot water, you’re paying for it to be heated. In most cases, hot water tanks are located in basements, crawl spaces, or other areas of the house that are not warm in the winter or well insulated. When the temperature of the water in the tank drops, the heater turns on and works to bring the core temperature back up.
With a tankless water heater, you only pay to heat the water when you need it. This saves a tremendous amount of money on your electric bill.
Conserve Water
When using a traditional water heater, you’ve probably noticed that you have to wait a while for the hot water to reach you. The hot water has to make its way through the pipes from the heating unit. With a tankless system, almost as soon as you call for hot water, it’s there. This can save thousands of gallons of water every year.
Tankless water heaters have many benefits for every homeowner. Save money and conserve water by converting to a tankless water heater today.
