When you take a hot shower and it suddenly turns cold, you’re not alone.
This common morning refrain of, “we’re out of hot water, again!” probably has you thinking, that there must be a better option.
You can get hot water on demand with a tankless water heater. An alternative to the more traditional tank system is a tankless water heater, which provides hot water on demand. The unit heats water only as you need it, rather than holding gallons of water in a tank and heating and reheating it endlessly like a tank heater. Never worry about running out of hot water again. By replacing a tank heater with a tankless one, you won’t have to worry about someone taking a long shower, running the dishwasher, or washing the clothes. The tankless unit has sensors that activate burners (for gas models) or heating elements (for electric models) that quickly heat the water before it travels through your pipes. Consider energy efficiency, leak protection, and convenience when deciding whether to buy a tankless water heater. With no storage tank to constantly reheat, tankless water heaters offer significant energy savings, often using up to 50% less electricity than traditional water heaters. You are also less likely to have a leak or flood in your house if you ditch the large tank water heater. A tankless system is basically a recirculating pump, so it doesn’t hold massive amounts of water like a traditional tank does. Convenience is another advantage of a tankless system. There is no longer a need to stagger showers or delay starting the dishwasher or laundry in order to conserve hot water. Tankless systems provide you with unlimited hot water whenever you need it.
