Reasons to Go Tankless for the New Year

With the new year, many homeowners are taking stock of the state of their homes to look for areas of improvement. The addition of a tankless water heater shouldn’t be overlooked. Tankless water heaters can heat water on demand and provide an endless supply of hot water for a fraction of the space and cost required by traditional storage water heaters. There are plenty of reasons for homeowners to consider installing a tankless water heater and discussed below are some of the most important ones.

It’s More Energy Efficient 

It’s not surprising to see that energy efficiency is at the top of the list of reasons why tankless water heaters endear themselves to the hearts of homeowners, after all, who doesn’t want to save money on energy costs, especially when water heating makes up a considerable amount of a home’s energy use. 

Tankless water heaters have greater energy efficiency than traditional storage water heaters, saving homeowners money because they only turn on when hot water is being used. This is unlike storage water heaters, which constantly turn off and on to maintain the temperature of the water stored inside the tank so that hot water will be available when required. 

A Space-Saving Solution Offering Endless Hot Water

Another notable feature of a tankless water heater is its size. Compared to conventional storage water heaters that require a large storage tank to store hot water, a tankless water heater is compact since it doesn’t store hot water and only heats water as needed. Only heating water when a hot water tap is on provides an unlimited supply of hot water since it’s not limited by the size of a tank. 

They are small enough to be mounted on a wall or fit in small spaces. This on-demand type of water heating allows homeowners to fit a water heater in practically any home - even those with limited square footage. Tiny homes, extensions, and even old houses that can no longer be retrofitted with additional plumbing all stand to benefit from the addition of an instantaneous water heater.

Lasts Longer Than a Storage Water Heater

Another benefit of tankless water heaters is that they are built to last, typically over 20 years. Their life expectancy is longer than a conventional storage water heater, which generally lasts between 10 to 15 years. With a longer life expectancy, homeowners can have peace of mind that they have many comfortable years ahead of them before they need to replace their tankless water heater.

The longer lifespan of a tankless water heater is an advantage that not only yields more worry-free years but also creates more savings that come from delaying the replacement of expensive equipment. Going longer without needing a water heater replacement, in addition to lower water heating costs from better energy efficiency, leads to savings over time.
