What are the Advantages of Tankless Water Heaters?
April 02, 2016
With Earth Day right around the corner, you may be bombarded with ways 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 save you money and outlast your traditional tank heater. For real! We compiled the leading reasons you should buy a tankless water heater.
- Tax Rebates – Although the initial investment can seem a bit daunting, qualifying tankless water heaters come with a federal tax rebate of around $300.
- Uninterrupted Heat – Everyone has felt it. The awful pain of frigid water pelting against your body when the hot water runs out and you’re mid-lather. 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. The government rebate plus not having to replace your tankless water heater as often equals big savings.
- Efficiency –Tankless water heaters only require enough energy to heat the quantity of water you’re using, so they don’t waste energy heating water you’re not going to use. This incredible tidbit can save you as much as 20% off your water heating bill. They also take up less space since they can be installed on walls (or outdoors if you have an anti-freeze kit) and smaller tankless water heaters can even be placed under cabinets or in closets.
- Avoid Water Damage – No tank, no tank to crack, no flooding. Although 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 stored in a tank waiting to be used will.
- So Fresh, So Clean – Since tankless water heaters don’t hold water in a tank, you always have pure, clean water that isn’t kept in a tank, which could have accumulated rust and scale.
