Benefit From a Tankless Water Heater Installation

Why Install Tankless Water Heaters?

If households or commercial properties need a water heater replacement, they should consider installing a tankless water heater. Tankless water heaters are energy-efficient and have many advantages. This post will share some reasons to install tankless water heaters, including signs that a water heater replacement is needed, how tankless water heaters differ, and the benefits of installing a tankless water heater. 

When Is Water Heater Replacement Needed? 

There are many signs that a professional should be called to inspect the water heater and determine if it needs to be replaced. One of the most telling signs that it may be time to replace an old water heater is inconsistency in water temperature. If people notice rust-colored water or visible rust on the tank itself, it’s a clear sign of corrosion, which compromises the integrity of the water heater and indicates replacement is needed.

Additionally, a leaking water heater is a serious issue that may require replacement. If the water heater has lasted beyond its life expectancy, is inefficient, and that inefficiency is reflected in higher water heating costs or requires repair too often, it should also be replaced with a new, energy-efficient, and reliable water heater. 

What Makes Tankless Water Heaters Different? 

A tankless water heater differs from traditional storage water heaters in that it heats water on demand only when needed rather than keeping a tank of water hot. When hot water is needed, cold water travels through a pipe and into the tankless water heater, where it’s rapidly heated by either a gas burner or an electric heating element. This process eliminates the need to keep a large hot water tank constantly heated, reducing energy consumption and costs. 

Unlike traditional storage water heaters that can run out of hot water and require time to reheat a new tank of water when the hot water in it runs out, a tankless water heating system provides a near-endless supply of hot water for the household since it will continue to heat water until it’s not needed anymore.

Tankless Water Heater Advantages

There are many advantages to installing a tankless water heater. For one, they are more energy efficient since they don’t create the standby energy losses that storage water heaters do to keep the tank of water heated. This efficiency leads to lower utility bills, saving homeowners money on their water heating. 

Tankless water heaters also have the benefit of a longer life expectancy than traditional storage water heaters. Tankless systems can last 20 years, while storage tank water heaters are expected to last 10–15 years. Tankless units are also smaller than traditional systems with a large storage tank, giving more flexibility for installation.
