When you’re looking at renovations for your home to bring it up to the modern era, or if you’re looking at the possibility of getting a new home, you should be sure to get a good look at the water heater. Why, you ask? Well, your water heater is basically the heart of your home. You want to make sure it’s as effective as possible, both in function and cost. That is why tankless water heaters have become such a popular choice for modern living spaces! If you want the best bang for your buck, these are our top reasons for going with a tankless water heater.
Reason 1 – Small but mighty. Tankless water heaters are generally smaller in size, meaning that they can fit better into small spaces and take up less of your valuable square footage. At the same time, they can handle the same or more capacity as a traditional water heater. Smaller unit, better capability.
Reason 2 – Cost effective. The tankless water heater is an energy efficiency master. Unlike a traditional water heater, tankless water heaters only use power when hot water needs to be made. They work based on usage and demand, not wasting time always keeping water hot “just in case.” This means that you save money on your monthly bills.
Reason 3 – Longer lifespan. Tankless water heaters have a longer lifespan than their traditional counterparts, thanks to the lower demand on the unit. Traditional water heaters last maybe 10 years, while the tankless rendition can last up to 20 with proper care and maintenance!
Reason 4 – Less maintenance. Regular water heaters need maintenance every 6 months or so, meaning costs for these visits once or twice a year. A tankless water heater needs much less maintenance, with some models only needing service every 3-4 years.
Reason 5 – Cleaner water. The tankless water heater comes with another great perk that a traditional one doesn’t: no sediment build up! This means that your water will come out cleaner every time, and you won’t need to perform that cleaning task.
Reason 6 – Easy install. Tankless water heaters are fairly easy and inexpensive to set up. They don’t need any kind of venting or gas hookups, and as such tend to cost a little less.
Reason 7 – Eco-Friendly. Tankless water heaters only heat water when it’s needed, so you’re saving both energy and water from being wasted, without sacrificing comfort.
There are plenty of other reasons to pick a tankless water heater when making changes to your modern living space, but these are the top reasons that we tend to recommend them. From ease of installation to savings to minimal maintenance, tankless water heaters really are the hot new thing (pun intended).
