Electric Tankless Hot Water Heaters
There are
many benefits to installing an electric tankless heater opposed to installing
another conventional tank style water heater. Electric tankless water heaters
are growing in popularity and for good reason. They are more environmentally
friendly, they save money and they supply an unlimited amount of hot water to
your faucets around the clock. When you are in need of a new hot water system in
your home you should consider installing an electric tankless heater for all
these reasons and many more.
Electric tankless heaters are much more energy efficient than conventional tank
style water heaters. In fact, the savings on your energy bill may be upwards of
forty percent from what you were paying when you were operating your
conventional hot water heater. Tankless heaters do not reserve any water in the
unit they heat water on demand. So, your hot water heater is not constantly
trying to maintain the temperature of water as it would with a conventional
style hot water tank. Additionally, tankless hot water heaters have a better
flow rate than conventional water heaters.
Electric tankless heaters are also space saving. The units are very small
because they don't have a place in which they store water constantly. This means
they take up less space in your utility room. Plus, they are far more attractive
than conventional hot water heaters. The unit is typically placed on a wall and
is square and metal. Installing an electric tankless heater means that you no
longer have to look at that giant ugly tank and you also have more storage
space.
The life expectancy of an electric tankless heater is far greater that that of a
conventional hot water heater. Most electric tankless hot water heaters last
upwards of 20 years. Additionally, they require very little maintenance and they
are very easy to repair when a problem occurs. So, when it begins to age they
are designed for easy part replacement rather than you having to replace the
entire unit.
There are some drawbacks to purchasing an installing an electric tankless heater
over installing another conventional water heater. Tankless water heating
systems are more expensive than conventional water heating systems. The cost of
any tankless water heating system is generally going to be greater than
installation of a conventional water heating system as well. However, the cost
that is initially paid out to purchase the tankless water heating system and
then have it installed in your home is often earned back in the savings you will
see on your energy bill.
Another disadvantage of buying a tankless hot water heater is their
availability. Tankless water systems are also more limited in their selection of
available units. Although the technology is over 50 years old, the popularity of
their use did not catch on until recently. So, not many manufacturers make
tankless hot water heating systems. You may have to go to a specialized store to
purchase a tankless water heater or even order one of the Internet because they
are not yet available in every home improvement store.

The fact that tankless water heaters have only recently caught on in the
United States also limits the number of professionals who know how to properly
maintenance and install them. When a person gets a conventional water heater
they can often easily install it themselves or hire someone rather inexpensively
to install it for them. Since tankless heaters are relatively unknown too many
repair professionals and consumers the price of getting them installed or
repaired can be steep. This problem can be remedied with a good manufacture
warranty.
