Tankless water heaters are significantly more expensive than their traditional counterparts, but you’ll find that they are an investment worth making. Though they may not seem like it at first, the truth is that tankless water heaters are a better choice overall.
Why is that?
Less space – With a tankless water heater, you only need about 40% of the original space used by a traditional water heater. The tankless heater is actually mounted on the wall, rather than seated on the ground. If you are living in a compact apartment or house, you’ll find the increase in available space is just one of the things that make your tankless heater a better choice.
Instant hot water – One problem with traditional water heaters is that they can run out of hot water. If you have a lot of family members who take long showers, there may be no hot water left by the time you get your turn to shower. But a tankless heater only heats water up as needed, so you have hot water on demand. Never run out of hot water again!
Environmentally-friendly – Yes, tankless water heaters are more eco-friendly than their regular counterparts. You can cut energy use by as much as 40%, and you’ll be at least 30% more energy-efficient than a regular 50-gallon water heater. You can reduce your carbon footprint thanks to a tankless water heater.
Reduce utility bills – Remember that 40% decrease in energy use? That’s a pretty significant decrease in the energy you use, meaning a decrease in the energy you PAY FOR. At the same time, you’ll also use less water with a tankless heater, so your water bill will be lower as well. Spend less, and save more by investing in a tankless heater.
Clean water – If you have a traditional water heater, the water sits in a tank for hours or days, sometimes even weeks. If the tank is filled with rust, scale, or mineral deposits, you are exposed to those things when you use the water. But with tankless heater, the water is only used in the moment, so there’s less risk of your being exposed to pollutants or undesirable particles in the water.
Longer lifespan – Not for you, the water heater! Your average water heater has a lifespan of 10-15 years, but a tankless water heater is built to last for more like 15-20 years. With the warranty included on your heater, you can rest assured you’ll have all the hot water you need for years to come.
