What are the Advantages of Tankless Water Heaters?
April 02, 2016
With Earth Day coming up, you may be inundated with suggestions to help “save the earth”. Well guess what? We’re here to add to the noise, but for a good reason. Not only is a tankless water heater eco-friendly, it can lower your utility bills and outlast your traditional tank heater. Seriously! We compiled the main reasons you should buy a tankless water heater.
- Tax Rebates – Although the initial investment can seem a bit discouraging, qualifying tankless water heaters come with a federal tax rebate of approximately $300.
- Constant Warmth – You know the feeling. The stabbing pain of cold water pelting against your back 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 demand the exact amount of energy to heat the quantity of water you’re using, so they don’t waste energy heating water you don’t need. This incredible tidbit can save you up to 20% off your water heating bill. They also require less space since they can be mounted on walls (or outdoors as long as you have an anti-freeze kit) and smaller tankless water heaters can even be installed under cabinets or in closets.
- Avoid Water Damage – No tank, no tank to crack, no flooding. While a leak could happen as with any plumbing appliance or instrument, tankless water heaters won’t flood or cause water damage the way 50 gallons of water standing by waiting to be used will.
- So Fresh, So Clean – Since tankless water heaters don’t store water in a tank, you always have fresh, clean water that isn’t from a tank, which could have accumulated rust and scale.
