Have you ever heard of tankless water heaters? Most people never have.
That’s the reason why most people don’t have tankless (also called on-demand) water heaters installed in their homes or in most hotels. The truth is that making the simple switch to a tankless water heater can make a huge difference to your monthly water heating bill, and that’s not the only benefit!
Here’s more about the difference between tank and tankless water heaters and why you should consider making the switch.
Tankless Water Heaters are Portable
Just how much space do you think your water heater takes up? The average water heater takes up gallons upon gallons of water at a time, and most people don’t realize just how much electricity this takes to heat up.
Water heaters with the tank attached also tend to be extremely heavy, and beyond consuming a lot of power, it could leave you with a huge mess to clean up if you ever have a leak which, with a tank water heater, is inevitable.
Tankless water heaters take up much less space, and they’re much more likely to last you longer. In fact, they can last as much as double the time.
Tankless Water Heaters are Cheaper
If you’re spending too much money on your electric bill every month and find that you need to save your budget, one of the first tips that people offer you is to switch off your tank when not being used. But, this just means it takes double the amount of electricity to warm up.
This is an expensive process, especially if you actually like having a nice, warm shower. Tankless water heaters are cheaper, and heat up the water at as much as 3 gallons of warm water per minute.
Tankless Water Heaters Last Longer
The life expectancy of a tank water heater is approximately 8 to 12 years, give or take. That sounds pretty impressive to most people, but they don’t realize that their water heater might already have as much as five to ten years on the clock by the time they move into their house or apartment.
Tankless water heaters are subject to a lot less wear and tear, and they are not nearly as likely to rust up and perish over time.
Not only will tankless water heaters save you money in electricity bills, they don’t need regular replacement as often. Similarly, they result in less costly water heater repairs.
Making a Difference
Replacing your traditional water to a tankless water heater can literally make all of the difference to you and your health.
A tank water heater can let water stagnate, and you might shudder if you got to see everything that lives in your water tank. And again, with a tankless water system you don’t experience this problem, and the water that reaches you is pure, clean and healthy.
Most people aren’t DIY-inclined enough to install their own water heaters, and that’s fine. Your local plumbing service provider should be able to point you in the right direction and recommend the best model for you.
