When it comes to water heater installation, many of our clients focus primarily on the higher installation costs without any real idea of the associated benefits. At Ben Franklin Bay Area, we want our clients to fully understand all facets of a product in order to make an informed decision prior to installation. Let’s explore further why choose a tankless water heater.
Benefits of a Tankless Water Heater
Consider the following pros to using a tankless hot water heater:
- Instant, Uninterrupted Hot Water – Tankless water heaters are also known as on demand water heaters because they quickly and efficiently provide hot water. Unlike traditional water heaters, they don’t come with a large tank to warm up, so hot water will always be available when you need it and for as long as you want it.
- Energy–efficient – Standard hot water heaters are continuously operating throughout the day to keep the tank water warm. This means that they are constantly consuming energy. Professionals have calculated that a tankless water heater can consume approximately 50% less energy than a traditional unit.
- Long Lasting Units – Corrosion and sediment are a normal part of traditional water heaters. They will have to be replaced once the corrosion sets in, and eventually it will. However, regular plumbing maintenance can prevent it from happening quickly, and tank-free options don’t have this same concern. That means that the tankless options may last years longer than a standard water heater.
- Saves Space – Tankless water heaters are mounted on the wall and will not take up precious closet space. They are the perfect solution for families with limited storage space.
