What Is a Tankless Water Heater?
A tankless water heater, also known as an “on-demand” water heater, only heats water as it is needed. Unlike traditional water heater units, which store and heat a large amount of water in a tank, tankless models do not store any water. Instead, they heat the water as it passes through the unit and then deliver it to the faucet or appliance that needs it.
There are two main types of tankless water heaters: whole-house and point-of-use. Whole-house tankless water heaters are designed to provide hot water to your entire home. They are typically installed in a central location, such as a basement or utility closet, and are connected to your home’s plumbing system. Point-of-use tankless water heaters are designed to provide hot water to a specific faucet or appliance. They are typically installed under a sink or near an appliance, such as a washing machine or dishwasher.
Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters
There are many benefits to installing a tankless water heater in your home, including:
- Endless hot water: With a tankless water heater, you will never run out of hot water. Because the water is heated as it is needed, you can take a long, hot shower without worrying about the water going cold.
- Energy savings: Tankless water heaters are more energy-efficient than traditional water heaters. Because they do not store any water, they do not have to constantly heat a large amount of water. This can help you save money on your energy bills.
- Space savings: Tankless water heaters have a much smaller footprint than units with a tank. They can also be installed on a wall or in a closet, which can help you save space in your basement or utility room.
- Longer lifespan: Tankless water heaters typically last longer than traditional water heaters. While traditional water heaters generally last about 10 years, tankless water heaters can last up to 20 years or more.
How to Choose the Right Tankless Water Heater
When it comes to choosing a tankless water heater, there are several factors that you need to consider, including:
- Size: The size of the tankless water heater you need will depend on the size of your property and your family’s hot water needs. Our plumbers will look at your usage before helping you choose the correct size for your household.
- Type: You will need to choose between a whole-house or point-of-use unit depending on the primary goals of your new heater.
- Energy source: Tankless water heaters can be powered by electricity, natural gas, or propane. The type of energy source that you choose will depend on your home’s energy source and your personal preferences. Natural gas is typically less expensive than electricity or propane, which can help you save money on your energy bills.
- Brand: There are many different brands of tankless water heaters on the market. Some of the most popular brands include Rinnai, Navien, and Noritz and the brand that you choose will depend on your personal preferences and your budget.
