3 Reasons To Switch To A Tankless Water Heater
The latest trend in the HVAC market, tankless water heaters are a great new innovation. Otherwise-called as demand-type or instantaneous, it produces hot water when you want it to. Cleverly designed, this latest tech gives homeowners several huge advantages you don’t get from usual heaters. Here’s why these are making waves in homes around the country.
They Take Up Much Less Space And Time
Why? Because they don’t store water. This means you don’t need storage tanks. Whenever you need hot water, it draws in cold water only then through a pipe and into a unit. There, it’s instantly heats up to 16 liters of water a minute. Keep in mind that flow rates still vary. One type doesn’t necessarily have a better flow rate over the rest, however, and it’s also affected by simultaneous use in a household.
One solution could be to have more than one tankless water heater. Because of the lack of the tanks, there wouldn’t be an issue with space. Have the connections parallel so you can use them at the same time.
You Get More Savings—Up To 50% Off!
At the risk of sounding like an infomercial, that’s the opportunity for savings you have when you use a tankless water heater instead of the conventional type. Imagine paying up to $100 less on your monthly utility bills. Using power from electricity or gas to heat water instantly rids the need to constantly heat stored water. Oh, the things you could do with that extra $100.
They are pricier in terms of initial investment but they last longer so you save even more before you have to replace it. Not having your heater constantly on also increases the lifespan of your HVAC system.
The Parts Are Replaceable
Typically, an issue with your HVAC is worrisome to most because of the possibility of having to replace the entire system or risk living in less than ideal conditions. Families get to worry less about the cost the next time they have a problem with their heater. Tankless technology can have their parts replaced so you spend less for repairs and maintenance.
Ask your technician about getting one for your home. What’s best for you would depend on the size, the kind of fuel available in your area, energy efficiency and the price as well as other costs involved. Having it installed by a professional ensures optimum performance but you also have the option to do it yourself.
If you decide to go the DIY route, your manufacturer is your go-to. Read up on the instruction manuals and ask the right authority about whether you’d need any permit or not. Study the local water heater installation codes. Also ask your HVAC specialist on the maintenance it needs. The manual would have a list of recommendations and instructions on how.
When hiring a professional, have the estimates written and ask for a list of references. Check if they’re listed under the Better Business Bureau and have the necessary documents. For the latest updates in HVAC systems, call Romano Bros at (630) 931-0123.
