When the time comes to replace your water heater, you can save energy and money off your energy bills for decades to come by investing in a tankless model. These new, efficient models are smaller and more convenient than the old tank-type water heaters, saving space. More importantly, they also shave dollars off your monthly energy bills.
How Tankless Water Heaters Save Energy
Tankless water heaters are designed differently than the old models to save time, energy and space. While tank models require a large area and hold many gallons of water that’s kept heated and ready for use, tankless models are small and hold no water. In fact, many can be mounted on a wall or even located outside of the home, taking up no space at all inside.
These new models save energy over tank water heaters by eliminating the need to keep large amounts of water heated around the clock. Instead, tankless versions heat water only as it is needed. According to some consumer reports, this can save over 20% of your energy bill by heating water only when you need it. Other benefits of tankless water heaters include:
– No water leaks. Tank water heaters are notorious for water leaks. This can cause a large amount of damage to your home in a small amount of time, where tankless models do not hold water.
– Go green. Using less energy is always a greener option, making tankless water heaters a better choice for the environment.
When it comes time for a new water heater, save space and energy by choosing an efficient tankless model. Most tankless models are built to last for 20 years or more, and are a great investment in your home.
