Many plumbers call the water heater “the silent champion” of the home. When you need hot water, this unit is always supposed to kick in. Water heaters are unsung heroes, but they are imperfect appliances; they age, rust out, and components eventually break down.
With today’s technical advancements, you now have the option of choosing a tankless water heater for your home or business. Several cost-saving benefits make this particular appliance a favorite.
Conserving Water
The beauty of a tankless water heater is that the unit heats water only when needed or on demand. In other words, you are not shelling out money every month to keep a large tank of water hot all the time. This appliance offers an excellent way to minimize hot water waste. A tankless water heater also allows you to do your part in water conservation for the environment and reduces carbon emissions.
Saving Energy, Too
A tankless water heater saves money each month on your energy bills as you enjoy the comfort of a reliable and consistent supply of hot water. Recent studies show that switching to a tankless water heater can reduce water heating costs by 30% to 50%. For the average American household, this can add up to saving hundreds of dollars a year.
In addition, these modern appliances have a longer lifespan than traditional water heater storage units and can last more than 20 years. Over time, the savings can offset the upfront purchase and installation of a new tankless water heater. Also, these tankless systems don’t need much maintenance except for filter cleaning and occasional descaling treatment.
Utilizing Space Better
Tankless water heaters are ideal for space-saving. These modern appliances take up much less room compared to traditional tank systems. You can even install these tankless units in tight spaces such as utility rooms and closets.
Wall-mounted tankless designs are another popular option, especially for condos, tiny houses, vacation homes or cabins for dwellers seeking a renovation upgrade and sustainability.
Monitoring Energy Habits
Some of these modern tankless water heaters also come equipped with app-based controls for adopting better energy habits. These apps give homeowners the technology to monitor and manage their hot water usage from a smartphone or tablet. This can translate to long-term savings for individuals and families of all sizes.
