Advantages of Choosing a Tankless Water Heater

tankless hot water heater, Prestige Plumbing

Tankless Water Heaters are growing in popularity as homeowners are choosing home appliances that are better for the environment and for their wallets. Tankless water heaters work by only producing hot water as needed. There is no storage tank with hot water being held and heated until warmed. When a hot water tap is turned on, water is pulled through the tankless heating unit and is warned by an electric element or gas burner. Since the tankless hot water heater warms water as it is needed, it offers an unlimited supply of hot water.

On top of offering hot water outside of what would generally be stored in a tank, hot water heaters are more energy-efficient. Because the "on-demand" heating system only works when it's needed, there is less energy being wasted into heating and maintaining water temp of a traditional tank water heater. On average a tankless water heater used 30-50% less energy than a water heater with a tank.

Tankless hot water units are also much smaller meaning they can be installed in a smaller space, and leave you with more room to work with. When comparing longevity to a traditional tank hot water heater, a tankless unit lasts on average two to three times as long. Having enough hot water to run multiple appliances can really benefit a home that has several commonly used appliances or even showers running at once.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Laundry Faucet?
