In Our "Pros Of" Series, We Take A Look At The Pros Of The Tankless Water Heater
Tankless water heaters offer many advantages over traditional tank-style water heaters. Here are some of the biggest pros of owning a tankless system:
Tankless water heaters heat on demand, so you don’t have to worry about running out of hot water during peak periods. While tanked systems use large tanks to maintain a predetermined temperature level, tankless units only heat the water that is used in real time. This prevents long wait times for hot water and ensures an uninterrupted flow of hot water whenever needed.
Not only do tankless water heaters reduce energy costs associated with heating large tanks of stored hot water, but they also provide long-term savings as their efficiency ratings tend to remain consistent over time. Since they are not required to keep a certain amount of hot water in the system at all times, they automatically consume less energy, resulting in lower energy bills.
Tankless water heaters have a much longer lifespan than traditional tanked water heaters. Tankless systems typically last between 10 - 20 years, while tanked systems can only last for 8 to 12 years.
This is mainly due to the fact that tankless systems don't have the same wear and tear on their components as tanks do. Traditional tanks are constantly being heated up and refilled with cold water on a regular basis, which can cause parts to deteriorate over time.
Unlike tanked water heaters which require large tanks to maintain a predetermined temperature level, tankless units can be installed directly onto the wall and do not require additional storage space. This is because they factor in incoming cold water temperatures and only heat the amount of water that is used at any given time - eliminating the need for large reservoirs of hot water.
Tankless systems also tend to be much more compact than their traditional counterparts, allowing them to fit in tiny spaces that wouldn't be suitable for bulky tanks. This makes them ideal for homeowners who don't have enough room or don't want to dedicate an entire room just for a tanked system.
This is because tanked systems are constantly storing heated water in their reservoir, which over time can weaken its construction and lead to water damage. Tankless units on the other hand, contain no storage tank, so there is no pressure putting stress on the unit's components such as pipes or connections. Since they only produce hot water when it's needed instead of storing it, there is substantially less wear and tear on the system - eliminating the potential for leaks or floods.
Additionally, tankless systems feature built-in sensors which detect changes in incoming cold water temperatures and shut off automatically if there is any malfunction within the heating system. This helps ensure that your home stays safe from any unexpected flooding or damage caused by faulty equipment.
Overall, choosing to install a tankless system will not only provide an endless supply of hot water but also help keep your home safe from potential disasters due to faulty equipment.
