Residential hot water is something that we all now take for granted, but that wasn’t always the case (as we know all too well, having been in this industry since 1920!) As the plumbing industry evolved, more and more emphasis was placed on the efficiency of hot water heaters.
The rate of efficiency is determined by the amount of energy required to bring a certain volume of hot water to temperature. The tankless water heater is a relatively recent system that is now the standard in many other parts of the world. There are many great reasons for considering one for your home.
The tankless water heater operates not by keeping a large amount of hot water in a large tank at a particular temperature, but by heating that water on–demand.
What does that mean? By means of a high–efficiency copper heat exchanger, the tankless water heater will kick on right when you call for hot water, and deliver hot water to the tap in a matter of seconds. It operates by combusting natural gas or by an electric heating element.
These are much different from standard water heaters. One of the chief reasons that the invention of the tankless system came about was to save energy. Therefore, improved energy efficiency is one of the main reasons why homeowners want to switch to tankless systems over storage tank water heaters. Tank water heaters suffer from what’s known as standby energy loss.
If the general promise of an energy-friendly water heating system isn’t enough to sell you, then the convenience of an endless hot water supply available to you whenever you need it–for however long you need it, absolutely will.
Since the first homes were equipped with tankless water heaters in the 1990s, homeowners have enjoyed the massive benefits, comforts and conveniences that tankless water heaters offer. Technological advancements since that time have only made tankless water heaters better. On average, new tankless systems are 40 percent more energy efficient than their predecessors.
So, if you want to take a long shower—go ahead! And if someone else in your household wants to run the dishwasher or wash clothes at the same time? Not a problem! You'll have plenty of hot water available every time you turn on the faucet.
Today, condensing tankless water heaters can employ up to 96 percent of a fuel source’s heat; meaning your tankless heater loses less energy in heating processes, and thus, is less wasteful. A benefit that not only saves you money, but also conserves unrenewable energy.
But wait, there’s more. In addition to the many aforementioned advantages of tankless water heaters, here are a few more benefits to consider:
