4 ADVANTAGES OF INSTALLING A TANKLESS WATER HEATER IN YOUR HOME

1. Tankless water heaters save energy

Tankless water heaters don't use as much energy as the boxed water heater. This is because they're able to provide water directly without using a storage tank. When you need hot water, cold water is brought to the unit via the pipes and warmed in the electric or gas burner of the unit.

2. Tankless water heaters are compact

Another benefit of tankless water heaters to talk to your plumbing contractor about is the unit's compact design. Because the unit is smaller, it takes up less room and also lasts longer than a boxed water heater and therefore usually have a longer warranty.

3. Tankless water heaters are good for the environment

While it's good for your utility bills to save on energy, it's also good for the environment. You're using less electricity and gas as you would use with a boxed water heater. What's more, because the tankless water heater doesn't rust it lasts longer and is less likely to be dumped in a landfill once its life is over.

4. Tankless water heaters can run on electric or gas

Homeowners have the option to choose between gas and electric tankless water heaters.

Electric units don't have an Energy Star rating but are still energy efficient and can help to reduce both water and electric bills. Gas units do have an Energy Star rating and are great for those who'd like their electric bill to be separate from their water system.
