If you need a new water heater, consider a tankless one. There are many benefits to tankless water heaters that we will list below. No matter what you decide, Five Star Plumbing can remove your old, dead water heater and replace it with a new one. Let’s talk about six primary benefits of going tankless in your home that you and all of your family will enjoy.
1. Instant Hot Water
One thing that people love about tankless water heaters is that they provide almost instant hot water. Once the water heater flushes any cool water out of the pipes, you’ll end up with a never-ending stream of hot water that you can enjoy. Tankless water heaters do not need time to warm up the water as a standing water heater does.
2. Lifespan Is Longer
Another benefit of a tankless water heater is that it lasts much longer than a standing water heater does. On average, you will get 10 to 15 years out of a standing water heater. By comparison, a tankless water heater can last as long as 20 years. Even though the tankless water heater is more expensive, it pays its own cost by lasting much longer.
3. Lower Utility Bills
Another way a tankless water heater pays for itself is by providing you with lower monthly usage costs. Because the water is hot instantly, you don’t waste as much water waiting for it to get hot. This allows you to take quicker showers. Most tankless water heaters are also gas, and natural gas is cheaper than electricity. These water heaters lower your monthly utility bills.
4. Smaller Units
You will also save a ton of space with a tankless water heater. These units are much smaller than the bulky standing water heaters. The heater is installed on an exterior wall and is a little bit larger than your power box. For people with smaller homes or no place to have a standing water heater, the tankless water heater provides plenty of space savings.
5. No Standby Loss
Another way that tankless water heaters save you money on your utility bills is that there is no standby loss. What we mean by standby loss is simple: A standing water heater must turn on and off constantly while it is in standby mode to keep the water warm. With a tankless water heater, the water is instantly heated when you turn it on.
6. Continuous Hot Water
Finally, we saved the best benefit for last. As you know, a standing water heater will run out of hot water once you have used up what is in the tank. You can enjoy continual hot water with a tankless hot water heater, which is why many people who enjoy long, comforting showers install them in their homes. You get hot water much longer with a tankless heater.
