Tankless Water Heaters: What You Need To Know

As the name implies, a tankless water heater is an alternative way of producing hot water without needing a storage tank. Instead of creating a reservoir of hot water, tankless water heaters, also known as demand-type or instantaneous water heaters, heat water as needed, providing a constant supply of hot water without the unnecessary energy loss or the higher power costs associated with traditional storage tank water heaters.

Is It Time to Retire Your Old Water Heater and Go Tankless?

showerDetermining whether an old water heater has reached the end of its intended lifespan isn’t rocket science. The signs are pretty clear and easy to spot. Inconsistent and fluctuating water temperatures that don’t seem to resolve even with regular repair and maintenance are one sign. The rust in the water or the water tank itself is another. Both of these and an inexplicably high energy bill should point toward a replacement. If that is the case, it might be time to consider getting a new water heater by swapping out that old storage system for a more efficient, tankless one.

The How’s of a Tankless Hot Water Heater

While the long-term energy and cost savings that a tankless system offers homeowners make it an attractive water heater replacement, it is also good to know how these savings and cost-effectiveness are achieved and why tankless water heaters are so much better for the environment. Instead of relying on temperature-regulated water stored in a tank, the tankless system uses a heat exchanger to heat water as it flows. The heater shuts down as soon as the water supply is turned off, saving precious energy that results in a lower electricity bill.

This type of on-demand heating allows for a constant supply of hot water that doesn’t falter the way it does when the traditional storage tank runs out of its hot water supply. However, this design isn’t without its limitations. A large household that requires the simultaneous operation of more than one fixture or appliance will struggle with only one tankless heater. A more viable solution would be to install several tankless heaters to serve the needs of a larger operation.

What are the Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters?

benefitsFor some people, switching to a tankless system is a no-brainer as there are many proven benefits to ditching the water storage tank and installing an on-demand water heating system. Aside from the fact that tankless systems allow homeowners to go green by reducing the amount of energy it needs to operate, it is also preferable because it provides a virtually unlimited hot water supply without taking up too much space. It also has a lower risk of springing leaks that lead to water damage and a lower probability of causing burns and exposing homeowners to harmful toxic metals.
