When it comes time to replace your water heater, you may want to consider a tankless model. Tankless water heaters provide on-demand hot water, which can save you energy and money. They are also more efficient than traditional water heaters, so they can help reduce your environmental impact. If you’re looking for a reliable and energy-efficient way to heat your water, a tankless water heater may be the right choice for you. Here’s why:
1. Double the Lifespan
While the average conventional tank water heater typically lasts 10-15 years (and is efficient for only 10-12 years), the average tankless water heater lasts (and remains efficient) for 20 years.
2. Lower Energy Bills
Tankless water heaters don’t have to work as hard (or use as much energy) to heat water since they only heat it when you need it. Heating water is one of your top three energy costs. Typical savings are around 40% of your water heating bill.
3. Hot Water On-Demand
Unlike a traditional water heater that must heat an entire tank’s worth of water 24/7, a tankless unit only heats a small amount of water as needed. So, if you’re the only one home and taking a shower, you won’t have to wait for the tankless water heater to heat up more water. Never run out of hot water again – even if everybody is taking showers while the dishwasher and washing machine are running!
4. Space Savings
Tankless water heaters are much smaller than their counterparts and can even be installed outside your home. This is ideal for smaller houses or condos that need to maximize their space.
5. Fewer Repairs
With fewer parts, there are fewer chances for things to go wrong. This means you can expect your tankless water heater to require repairs less often than a traditional one.
