Tankless Water Heaters
They’ve been around for years, and in Europe they are quite common, but for some reason tankless water heaters still have not really become common in America. Recently, though, the trend toward installing this type of water heater in one’s home has been steadily increasing.
There are good reasons for this. In fact, there are...
10 Good Reasons
To Go Tankless
First, the units are small. Small enough to hang on the side of a house. No need for a large closet to store your water heater.
Second, you can preset a specific temperature for your water, and that is the temperature at which it will stay. Turning on any hot water faucet activates a device in the unit that heats the water instantly, so the water only gets heated when it's actually being used.
Third, traditional heaters are much more expensive because they require you to pay for keeping hot water available in your house twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days year – a costly proposition, especially since you only use hot water a few minutes each day (while showering, doing the dishes, washing your hands, etc.).
Fourth, because a tankless water heater works only when you need it (as opposed to being constantly on standby), your water heating bill is substantially reduced.
Fifth, because of its smaller size, a tankless heater can be stored outside the house and thus is can be kept out of the way (no need to keep it in the garage).
Sixth, you can save from 20 to 50 percent on your energy bills with a tankless hot water heater. Ever been scalded in the shower? Your traditional tank is constantly warming up the water throughout the day and night, so that it actually overheats the water to the point where it comes out scalding hot. This is why you always have to turn on both the hot and cold water faucets to take a shower at a comfortable water temperature. Not only is this a waste of cold water, over the years it is also costing you a considerable amount of money.
Seventh, unlike regular heaters, which eventually give out over time, tankless water hearters have a lifetime warranty.
Eighth, since there is no need to store large quantities of water, the tankless water heater unit never leaks.
Ninth, allowing water to stand for too long (in a normal water heater, for instance) can create certain types of bacteria. A tankless water heater, on the other hand, does not store water.
Tenth, because they use less water and less energy, these units run on less fossil fuel and conserve more power.
