5 Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters

Spread the love

For decades, every home had a large tank-style water heater hidden in the basement or in the corner of a laundry room. Twenty-four hours a day, hundreds of gallons of water is kept heated, ready for use in these large tanks. But is this really the most efficient method? Why heat water when you are at work or on vacation? Tankless water heaters are the more efficient option available, for several great reasons. Here are five benefits of owning a tankless water heater: 

  1. Less energy. First and foremost, tankless water heaters only heat water on an as-needed basis so they use less energy. This can be a substantial savings each year and through the lifespan of the equipment.
  2. Less Space. Free up that corner in the laundry or pantry that stores your large tank water heater. Tankless heaters are much smaller- some can even be mounted outside the house.
  3. Long lifespan. Many tankless water heaters last longer than the tank variety. Tanks tend to corrode and rust from water storage. Tankless water heaters eliminate that component, extending the life of the equipment.
  4. Tax savings. Since tankless water heaters are considered an energy-efficient option, there are often tax breaks for switching to a tankless variety.
  5. Smaller chance of water damage. Leaking water heater tanks can cause extensive water damage to your home. Tankless water heaters do not store water so they are unlikely to flood your home. 

If you are ready to replace your old tank water heater, talk to your local plumber about the options available in tankless water heaters. For most homes, these new more efficient models are the best solution.
