Are you looking to cut down on your energy costs while saying goodbye to cold showers? If you’re still using a bulky traditional water heater, you know just how prone it is to meltdowns. On top of that, it can really hurt your pocket big time as it falls short on the energy-efficiency meter. So, wouldn’t it be nice to hit these two problems with one stone?
The answer to that would be to transition to a tankless water heater. If you’re late to the news, this game-changing home appliance can significantly reduce your monthly bills. Proper Plumbing explains below how it works.
Unmatched Efficiency
Unlike tanked water heaters, a tankless unit heats water only when you need it. Traditional water heaters constantly use energy to keep a tank full of water hot, even when you’re not using it. With a tankless unit, water is heated instantly as it flows through the system. This means no energy is wasted on keeping water hot for hours.
The result? You get to enjoy hot water on demand without paying for energy you’re not using. This results in up to a 34% energy savings gap between the two units. Now that’s what you call savings!
Instant Heating
Have you ever had to wait forever for your shower to warm up? When you’re stuck with a storage water heater, you’re also likely to get stuck with this familiar shower drama. Especially if you have a big household, getting last in line would mean an extended waiting game. You have to spend more minutes waiting for the tank to heat and fill up. Unfortunately, this struggle doesn’t only cost you time; it also hurts your pocket.
Tankless water heaters solve that problem by heating water instantly. As soon as you turn on the faucet or shower, the unit heats water as it passes through the system. There’s no waiting for a tank to fill up, and you get hot water right away. This not only saves time but also means no more running the faucet just to get hot water. It not only lowers your electricity bill, it also reduces your water wastage.
Less Maintenance Needs
Traditional water heaters often need regular maintenance, like flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup. As they age, they’re also more prone to leaks and rust. These compromises often cause the unit to work twice as hard to compensate for efficiency loss. Tankless water heaters, however, have fewer moving parts and no tank to maintain. This means less upkeep and fewer chances of malfunctions.
Smart Technology
Would you have ever thought, ten years ago, that it was possible to control your water heater’s temperature and water usage without pushing a button or turning a knob? Well, that may have sounded a bit of a stretch before, but it’s an actual reality now.
Most tankless water heaters today sport remote connectivity. This allows you to track and control them via a mobile app. But what does it have to do with energy savings? These advanced features aren’t just for convenience; they are actually a practical way for you to control your unit more effectively. These tech-savvy units give you control over your energy usage, allowing you to make adjustments and track savings. They also tend to have higher performance ratings and more precise heating. Others even have leak-detection capabilities.
All these features help you optimize your usage. As you may know, an optimized unit equals savings.
