What are the Advantages of Tankless Water Heaters?

With Earth Day right around the corner, you may be bombarded with ideas to help “save the earth”. Well guess what? We’re here to add to the noise, but for a good purpose. Not only is a tankless water heater eco-friendly, it can save you money and last longer than your traditional tank heater. Seriously! We put together the top reasons you should invest in a tankless water heater.

 

• Refunds – Although the initial investment can seem a bit discouraging, qualifying tankless water heaters come with a federal tax rebate of approximately $300.

• Continuous Flow – You know the feeling. The stabbing pain of freezing water pelting against your skin when the hot water runs out and you’re still showing. Get excited! Tankless water heaters negate that issue altogether because the hot water NEVER. RUNS. OUT.

• Lifespan – Tankless water heaters can last five to ten years longer than old, inefficient tank water heaters. So in addition to the government rebate, you don’t have to replace your tankless water heater as often, so you can save even more money.

• Efficiency –Tankless water heaters only require enough energy to heat the amount of water you’re using, so they don’t waste energy heating water needlessly. This amazing tidbit can save you up to 20% off your water heating costs. They also take up less space since they can be placed on walls (or outdoors if you have an anti-freeze kit) and smaller tankless water heaters can even be mounted under cabinets or in closets.

• No Flooding – No tank, no tank to crack, no flooding. Although a leak is possible as with any plumbing appliance or instrument, tankless water heaters won’t flood or cause water damage the way 45 gallons of water stored in a tank waiting to be used will.

• So Fresh, So Clean – Since tankless water heaters don’t keep water in a tank, you always have fresh, clean water that isn’t stored in a tank, which could have accumulated rust and scale.
