Instant water heaters are effective alternatives for your home because they operate differently than standard water heaters. Instead of keeping hot water, tankless water systems heat water immediately. They are able to provide hot water at a faster rate than their conventional counterparts. These units are versatile because they can be installed in almost any type of home.
Advantages of Tankless Water Heaters
One major benefit of tankless water heaters is that they are more energy efficient. Tankless units will activate only when there is a need for hot water, instead of running all day to keep unused water warm. Another benefit is that tankless water heaters are able to provide a consistent stream of hot water for as long as necessary. The average tankless water unit will last between 10 and 15 years, and many come with lifetime warranties. With proper care and maintenance, some units can last for 20 years or more.
Additional uses for tankless water heaters:
- Pre-heating appliances (dishwashers, washing machines, etc.)
- Generating hot water for spas or bathrooms not connected to the main water supply
- Supplementing a solar water heating system
Over time, water heaters lose efficiency. These are delicate and complex instruments that require an expert technician for tune-ups and repairs. You may need a tune-up for your tankless water heater if it exhibits any of the following symptoms:
- Leaks
- Water shortage
- Tepid water
- Clogged water filter
