Advantages of Tankless Water Heaters

Friday, June 27th, 2014

Water heaters are an essential part of your plumbing system, designed to provide piping hot water for bathing and cooking on a moment’s notice. Most people are accustomed to traditional tanked models, and they often work just fine. They’re not the only option, however. Here in Glendale, CA plumbing services can install a tankless water heater system, which eschews the use of a giant tank. Instead, it passes the water through a series of superheating coils, warming it instantly as it travels to the faucet. Tankless water heaters cost more to install than tanked models, but they provide numerous advantages to offset the cost. We’ve included a breakdown of some of the larger advantages below.

  • Instant hot water. Unlike tanks, which often take time to “warm up” in getting the hot water to you, tankless models provide hot water instantly. Furthermore, they never run out of hot water the way tanked models do if you run them for long enough.
  • Cheaper costs. Furthermore, a tankless water heater ensures that you never waste water waiting for the heater to kick in. furthermore, it doesn’t rely on natural gas or similar types of fuel. All of that translates to significant savings in monthly costs over the tanked model. In addition, you can receive a tax rebate from the federal government to help further offset the cost of installation.
  • Less space. Tankless water heaters don’t take up nearly as much space as their cousins, allowing them to readily be placed anywhere that fits in your house.
  • Less damage. When tanked water heaters rupture, they can make a considerable mess, as the water spreads out all over the area. When tankless heaters encounter problem, there’s no mess. You’re simply denied hot water until a technician can get in to repair it.
