While a traditional tank water heater heats water, tankless water heaters heat only as much water as necessary and when it is needed. By heating on-demand, tankless units can decrease energy use by 24 to 34 percent compared to traditional water heater tanks.
Lower Utility Bills
Since tankless water heaters use less energy, they might decrease your utility bills. ENERGY STAR® assesses the average household can save tens of thousands of dollars each year by converting to one unit.
These water heaters can conserve almost 27 to 50 percent more energy compared to traditional tank models and service every point in your home, like the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room.
Extended Life Span
water heaters last five to ten years longer than tank heaters. With proper maintenance, a tankless water heater can provide up to 20 decades of lasting use.
Endless Hot Water Households utilizing a traditional tank water heater might run out of water since the home’s entire supply is stored in the tank. The heating elements in tankless units heat water when it is needed, for as long as needed, offering continuous warm water.
Most traditional tanks hold between 40 to 60 gallons of water and usually measure about 60 inches tall and 24 inches wide. Since tankless water heaters are much smaller, they take up far less space in your home. Their normal size is 28 inches tall by 10 inches deep and 20 inches wide.
Maintenance is usually required by water heater tanks, and in many regions, they have to be serviced every 6 months. Additionally, tankless water heaters need very little upkeep. Depending upon the level of your water supply, they could sustain function for four to five years without maintenance.
If you live in an area with hard water, a yearly cleaning is still suggested to remove mineral buildup near the heating element. This standard maintenance is straightforward to perform: use a vinegar solution to flush the unit for sixty minutes and then remove any lingering sediment.
