Tankless
Water Heaters...
Another Way to Go Green
The average household doesn’t use hot water 24 hours a day
every day, but if you have a traditional tank hot water
heating system you are paying your energy provider to
heat water every hour of the day.
Traditional standard water heaters heat and
reheat the same water until it is used.
This continues when you are sleeping, at work,
and even when you are on vacation. Tankless hot water
heating systems, which are also known as instant water
heaters, uses a technology that is more energy efficient
because it only heats water that you are using.
Another advantage of a tankless hot water heating
system is that every member of your family can take a
shower in the morning and no one will run out of hot
water.
Other advantages of tankless hot water heaters include:
-
They are energy efficient because they are not continuously
heating water that is not being used at the
time.
-
Tankless hot water heating systems heats the water as you
need it, therefore you’ll never run out of hot
water.
-
Tankless hot water heating systems require very little space
because you don’t have a huge tank taking up
space.
-
Another benefit of tankless water heating systems is that
they actually help save water, as you no longer have
to allow the water to run while you wait for hot
water. With
a tankless hot water system, the water is hot when
you want it, which is why these systems are also
know as “On Demand,” and “Instant Water
Heaters".
When people first consider replacing their traditional tank
hot water heats, it is the high initial cost that is its
main disadvantage.
However, many people can see a huge savings on
their energy bills within the first 6-8 month of using
your new heater. The price of tankless hot water heaters
can range anywhere from $400 to well over $1000.
However, if replacing your gas hot water system
with a tankless hot water heater then you can save
approximately 25% to 30% on your energy bills.
If you are replacing an electric hot water
heater, the savings on your energy bills is even more at
approximately 40% to 50%.
If you are considering replacing your old tank
water heater, then consider replacing it with a tankless
water heater system that will provide your families with
hot water whenever they want it, while helping to reduce
your energy bills.
