Tankless water heaters are a viable alternative to traditional hot water heaters. These tankless units are popular in other countries, but why?
Everything You Need To Know About Tankless Water Heaters
Traditional water heaters feature a large tank that stores and heats the water until you are ready to use it. These types of units keep the hot water stored and heated, even if it’s not needed.
Tankless water heaters counter this storage strategy by only heating the water when it is needed. Tankless systems only heat the water on demand. When you turn on the faucet, the water will instantly become heated as it flows through a “heat exchanger”, delivering hot water to you the second you want it.
One benefit of having a tankless water heater is that you have access to unlimited hot water. Traditional units can only provide as much hot water as your tank can hold. Tankless systems can heat water for an entire building, removing the limit of hot water that can be delivered. You can install the heaters in different locations, giving you quicker access to hot water. With traditional heaters, you have to wait for the hot water to reach you. With tankless, the closer you are to the heater, the quicker you receive hot water.
Tankless heaters, much like traditional ones, can be designed as electric, natural gas, or propane fueled. In addition to this, they can be installed almost anywhere. Although tankless water heaters often run more expensive than traditional units, they can help you save water, energy, and money. By only delivering hot water when you need it, you can reduce your monthly expenses and ensure that you always have hot water available in your home.
