What Exactly is a Tankless Water Heater?
The simplest way to describe a tankless water heater is to picture a “heat as you go” device. Water is not heated until you turn on your hot water faucet. There is a small storage unit in the heater that acts as a temporary holding area for the water to heat up before passing through the pipes.
What are the Benefits of Going Tankless?
There are several benefits to installing a tankless water heater. First of all, these units are much smaller than a regular tank water heater. Some homeowners install them under the kitchen sink, as an alternative unit to run separately from bathroom connections.
Another advantage of going tankless is the energy you will save. Since the unit will only heat water as you need it, there is no hot water wasted sitting idle in a storage tank. With a tankless water heater, you use less energy to heat the water, which reduces your overall energy use throughout the year. Since most homes use hot water every day, the potential savings are great.
Less energy means savings on your electricity or gas bills. When considering the initial cost of the unit, it will eventually pay for itself over time in energy savings, making it an investment instead of an expense.
