Tankless Water Heaters
 If
you are remodeling your home or thinking about replacing a hot water heater, you
might be considering tankless or instant water heating. There are many good
reasons to consider either a whole-house tankless water heating system or
several strategically placed "booster" tankless hot water heating units. To help
you with your decision, here are some of the basic facts about tankless water
heaters.
- Whole-house tankless units can range in price from $199 to $4000.
- Storage water heaters usually last 10 to 15 years; tankless units last 20
years or more.
- Tankless water heaters are 8% to 50% more energy-efficient depending on
the amount of hot water used in a day and placement of the unit(s).
- Tankless heaters can reduce your water heating cost by as much as 60%.
- Tankless water heaters heat 2-5 gallons of water per minute.
There are two main types of tankless water heating units: electric powered
and gas-fired. Gas-fired units are able to generate a higher flow than electric
units.
Tankless water heaters produce hot water by heating an element which heats the
water as it passes across the element on its way to the tap. Because no water is
actually stored in a tank and constantly heated to keep it at a standard
temperature a significant energy savings is achieved by changing to tankless
water heaters.
Tankless water heaters do not cause leaks and flooding due to cracking of the
storage tank or a leak in a key pipe because no water is being stored.
Because tankless heaters only process 2 to 5 gallons of water per minute, they
can reach capacity at times of heavy use, such as running the dishwasher and the
washing machine at the same time or running an appliance while showering. This
can be avoided by installing a booster unit or by installing separate units for
certain appliances.
Tankless water heaters are small and self-contained. They are ideal for such
uses as:
- Garage sink
- Gardening or potting shed
- Outdoor barbeque or cooking area
- Pool Shower
- Pool House
- Garage or workshop bathroom
- Hot Tub
- Soaking Bathtubs
- Auxiliary bathrooms
- Second or third bathrooms some distance from the hot water heater
- Pet bathing area
- Hobby room
- Guest bathroom
- Guest house
