Although tankless water heaters are not a recent invention, it is only recently that they made a large impact on the residential water heating world. After years of popularity in Europe, they are now a common option for new installation in homes across the U.S.<\/p>\n
If you are in the market for a new water heater, whether for a new home or as a replacement for your aging current water heater, there are a number excellent reasons to put a tankless water heater high on your list of options. Although you might feel reluctant to stray away from the tried-and-true storage tank water heater, below are three reasons that our technicians you should give the tankless water some serious consideration. Call OASIS Heating, A\/C & Refrigeration to learn more about the benefits of this technology.<\/p>\n
One of the huge differences between a storage water heater and a tankless water heater is that the storage model must maintain its water at a high temperature, while a tankless model only uses heat when a tap requests hot water. This means that a storage water heater will use energy almost constantly in order to replace heat lost from the tank, consuming large amounts of energy. A tankless model only turns on as you need hot water (which is why they are also called \u201con demand\u201d water heaters) and uses a smaller amount of energy. According to the U.S. Department of Energy<\/a>, you can achieve savings up to 34% off your water heating bills each year with a tankless unit.<\/p>\n Because tankless water heaters only heats up water when you need it, they don\u2019t have a supply of water that can run out. In other words\u2026 your household can\u2019t use up all the hot water. You will never need to worry about someone getting stuck with a cold shower in the morning rush again.<\/p>\n Connected to their reduced use of energy, tankless water heaters have longer lifespans than storage water heaters. The Department of Energy estimates that a standard storage water heater will last 10\u201315 years, while a tankless water heater can expect to endure more than 20. That means you have at least 5 years, and probably more, to enjoy the energy savings of your tankless water heater.<\/p>\n Tankless water heaters are not ideal for every home or budget, so please make sure you contact the experts at OASIS Heating, A\/C & Refrigeration in Arlington, VA for assistance when you\u2019re ready for a new water heater.
