Tankless water heaters offer many benefits that standard tank models do not. Tankless units are more efficient, economical, require less maintenance and last twice as long as traditional tank models. Unlike tank models that require enough space to house a water heater, tankless designs require very little space. Because they’re smaller and very compact tankless water heaters can be mounted on a wall or in a cabinet. We can install a new tankless water heater in various locations of your home depending on your existing gas and water tie in points.
Hot Water On Demand
One of the main benefits of a tankless unit is they have zero stand-by heat loss. An we all know that nobody likes waiting for warm water. But a tankless water heater should not be purchased if your main reason is to get hot water instantly. It will come very fast but it’s not exactly instantaneous. What determines the arrival time of your hot water is the distance from the tankless unit to your plumbing fixtures.
Some tankless water heater models offer a built-in circulation pump that aids in the hot water delivery process. Depending on the size of your home or number of fixtures, tankless models can even be installed side by side to double your hot water output.
Tankless Water Heater Maintenance and Repairs
Maintenance and repairs to tankless water heaters are much easier than tank models. However, we recommend servicing on an annual basis just like your heating and cooling systems to ensure there are no issues with any gas or electrical components (depending on your model). For homes and businesses with hard water problems, we recommend having your unit serviced every six months to keep it performing like it should.
Many people have experienced flooding and water damage when a tank water heater bursts or unexpectedly begins to leak. With tankless water heaters they are a little more forgiving. Some tankless models will give show an error code that pre-warns you of a potential leakage and or performance issues such as scale buildup or flow restrictions.
