What Is the Difference Between a Traditional Water Heater and a Tankless?

Traditional water heaters work by storing up to fifty gallons of heated water at all times. This preheated water is available for use at any time and for any reason. Consider your hot showers and baths, your washing machines that can be set to wash your clothing in hot water, or even your dishwasher which uses hot water to clean your dishes. Whether you’re using the hot water at your place of business or your home, your conventional hot water system works the same. Tankless water heaters are different in that there is no preset amount of heated water. Instead, water is heated on demand via an electrical or gas source. Tankless water heaters never run out of hot water because the water is heated on demand. These water heaters are designed to produce hot water on demand which is the opposite of conventional water heaters which store preheated water.

What Are the Benefits of a Tankless Water Heater?

There are many practical and actual benefits that tankless water heaters provide. For starters, these heaters take up less space. This is primarily because these heaters don’t store preheated water. An electric or gas source is used to heat water on demand. If your household or business uses forty-one gallons of water or less daily, a tankless water heater is twenty-four to thirty-four percent more energy-efficient than a conventional water heater. Conversely, if you use eighty-six gallons of water or more in your home or business, a tankless water heater can be eight to fourteen percent more energy efficient.

More Benefits…

Fortunately, the benefits don’t end here. Tankless water heaters are space-saving, leak less, and have a much longer life span. The average life of a conventional water heater is ten to fifteen years as opposed to twenty years with a tankless water heater. Although the initial cost of a tankless water heater in terms of unit cost and installation may be more. However, the long-term savings may be greater.

Lower Costs and Greater Home Value

Of course, tankless water heaters provide instant hot water, lower monthly utility costs, and these heaters add more value to your home. Homes with tankless water heaters often sell for four percent more than their asking price and they also tend to sell a month faster than homes with conventional water heaters. On a practical note, tankless water heaters often have replaceable parts that extend their life by many years. This makes Tankless Water Heater Repair economical and smart for both residential and commercial Mansfield, TX customers. If you can repair your water heater instead of replacing it, the costs for these types of maintenance services are usually substantially cheaper than replacing and installing a new unit. This is one of the many reasons why investing in a tankless water heater may be a smart option.

Other Considerations…Why do tankless water heaters cost more?

Many people may get hung in the initial cost of tankless water heaters not truly understanding why these heaters cost more initially. This is best explained by the cost of the unit…they tend to be more expensive, as well as the venting and resizing process that is also part of the installation process. These are all vital components required to support a tankless water heater. The entire process can be as much as 2.5 times higher than the cost of a conventional water heater. However, the savings often help you to recoup the initial cost over time. Plus, Tankless Water Heater Repair is often a less expensive option for residential and business owners. Most of us would rather foot the bill to repair something instead of replacing it altogether.

Who Should Invest in a Tankless Water Heater?

If you and your family find yourselves experiencing cold showers frequently, or you have to use the cold wash setting on your washer more often than you’d like to, you might benefit from a tankless water heater. This type of heater ensures that you have an endless supply of hot water at all times because the water is heated on demand instead of stored. Business owners that need access to unlimited hot water can benefit from a tankless water heater as well. Consider the needs of your home or business and make a choice. It’s also a good idea to consider your finances and whether or not you could afford the initial costs associated with the purchase and installation of a tankless hot water heater. You’ll save after you make the initial investment. However, it’s important to ask yourself if you can afford to make the initial investment or if you have finance options available to you.
