Tankless Water Heater

Heating water in a residentual home can account  for 20-35 percent of the average home’s energy. Commercial gas-fired tankless water heaters have studies that show they cut  energy costs up to one half  over regular water heaters.

Some data points about both tank and tankless heaters:

The benefits of tankless water heaters include they are nearly 100% energy efficient and they average a savings of up to 50% on water heating costs.  They are environmentally friendly and are very, very efficient.  They only heat water as required.

Conventional water heaters heat water slowly and constantly throughout the day and store the heated water in a tank to make hot water available when you need it.  This is inherently inefficient over the long haul. Much of the energy that is used to heat the water dissipates throughout the day.

Tankless water heaters, also referred to as “instant” or “on demand” water heaters, heat the water only as it is used, thus they are more energy efficient. When you turn on a hot water faucet, the heater activates and stays on until the water is turned off.

Tankless water heaters never run out of hot water and they save energy, an amazing combination.

The best tankless water heaters on the market offer many tools to measure efficiency.

If you are considering a tankless hot water heating, spend some time getting details and advice from a local plumbing professional.
