Tank Vs Tankless, Why Buy A Tankless Hot Water Heater?
Before you buy the wrong item let’s have a look at the argument between tank and tankless water heaters and why to buy a tankless water heater.
Think first about how much you spend on heating water, is this mainly keeping a large tank load of water up to a preset temperature? No matter how good the tank’s covering is, it will still cool over time and the thermostat will then turn on the re-heating. Expensive, most likely.. Wasteful.. You bet!
Now, what time do you use hot water? Morning and Evening then, your tank will be cooler and will turn on the heating cycle so you have hot water for later. Under heavy demand a tank can run out of hot water as it heats too slowly to keep up with demand.
The water cooling cycle of a tank hot water system can cost you an additiona $50 or more each and every month simply keeping water hot.
The increasing cost of energy means we have to alter the way we heat water, doesn’t matter if it is domestic or commercial, energy you don’t need to use still costs and in tough economic times, money is precious.
With tankless water heaters; turn the hot faucet on and then energy is used and only then, so your cost savinge on your energy beii will pay for the heater in 3-7 years. The smaller the amount of hot water you use, the sooner you get back your outlay. If you are single and seldom at home using hot water, your energy charges will reflect your low hot water usage because tankless water heaters don’t experience standby heat loss.
A good quality tankless water heater will outlast a tank hot water system by many years. Most tankless water heaters will give you around 20 years plus and this is often double what a tank heater provides, depending on water quality and how well it is maintained.
If you select the appropriate tankless heater for your situation, there is no chance of you running out of hot water. Some of the high flow gas tankless water heaters will easily run upto 4 showers at one time, depending on the input temperature of the water, so they can be set up to provide hot water for even the grandest households.
If you are tight for space, tankless water heaters have significant advantages over large tank systems. They are wall hung, compact, light weight, can be fitted both indoors or outdoors and don’t take up floor space. With gas tankless water heaters, you can select for vertical or horizontal venting and the majority of tankless water heaters offer a wide choice of options, installation accessories and safety systems.
Tankless water heaters are well suited to a broad range of applications. They can be used in boats, mobile homes and RV’s, under floor and radiant heating systems, for boosting solar hot water and when linked together as multiple units, can provide sufficient on demand hot water for appartment buildings and small, medium, even large commercial situations, like commercial catering facilitied or factories.
Consider energy efficiency, the tank water heaters are a lowly 40% to 60% energy efficient, the remainder of the energy is wasted either through the walls of the tank or up the flue. Tankless water heaters are 80% – 95% for nat gas or tank propane and up to 99% efficient for electricity. You will also save up to 15%-20% on your energy bill following change over to tankless water heaters, simply because there is no stored water heat loss.
Tankless water heaters, when sized correctly, will serve your domestic hot water needs for a long time.
