What Is a Tankless Water Heater?

Traditional water heaters store and heat water in a large tank, which is why they are often referred to as “storage tank” water heaters. When you turn on a hot water tap, the water is drawn from the tank and replaced with cold water, which is then heated to the desired temperature. 

Because the tank is limited in size, you can only use as much hot water as the tank can hold. Once the tank is empty, you have to wait for it to refill and heat up again before you can use more hot water.

Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, do not store hot water. Instead, they heat the water as it is needed. When you turn on a hot water tap, the tankless water heater activates and heats the water as it passes through the unit. 

This means you can use as much hot water as you want, whenever you want, without ever running out. It also means you don’t have to pay to heat water that you aren’t using, which can save you a significant amount of money on your energy bills.

What Are The Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters?

Some of the benefits of tankless water heaters include:

• Endless hot water: Because tankless water heaters heat the water as it is needed, you never have to worry about running out of hot water.
• Energy savings: Tankless water heaters are much more energy-efficient than traditional water heaters. In fact, they can be up to 34% more efficient, which can save you a significant amount of money on your energy bills.
• Longer lifespan: Traditional water heaters typically last about 10 years. Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, can last up to 20 years or more.
• Space savings: Traditional water heaters are large and bulky and take up a lot of space. Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, are small and compact and can be installed on virtually any wall in your home.
• Increased property value: Because tankless water heaters are so energy-efficient, they are a major selling point for potential buyers. In fact, installing a tankless water heater in your home can increase its value by up to 4%.

How to Choose the Right Tankless Water Heater

When it comes to choosing a tankless water heater, there are a few things you need to consider. First, you need to determine what size unit you need. This will depend on the size of your home and the number of people who live in it. The more people who live in your home, the larger the unit you will need.

Second, you need to determine what type of fuel source you want to use. Tankless water heaters can be powered by electricity, natural gas, or propane. If you don’t have access to natural gas, you will need to choose between electricity and propane.

Finally, you need to determine what features you want your tankless water heater to have. Some units come with a variety of features, such as digital displays, remote controls, and self-cleaning systems. While these features are not necessary, they can make your life a lot easier.

How to Maintain a Tankless Water Heater

Like all appliances, tankless water heaters require regular maintenance to keep them running smoothly. The most important thing you can do to maintain your tankless water heater is to flush it out at least once a year. Over time, minerals and sediment can build up inside the unit and cause it to become clogged.

By flushing out the unit, you can remove these deposits and prevent them from causing any damage. In addition to flushing out the unit, you should also check the pressure relief valve and the heat exchanger for any signs of damage. If you notice any problems, you should call a professional plumber to have them repaired as soon as possible.
