Upgrade Your Water Heater to Tankless
When it comes to a new year, people are always reflecting on the previous year and how to make this one better than the last. While it probably won’t be difficult to make any year better than in 2020, it is still helpful to think about areas you want to improve at the start of the year. While many people make resolutions regarding their weight or finances, other less traditional goals may be easier to achieve.
Home improvement projects are popular goals to work towards in a new year. When choosing a project to undertake, it is helpful to consider the rewards that it will bring. If you need to replace your water heater or you are looking for ways to make your home more energy-efficient, installing a tankless water heater should be at the top of your home improvement list.
A tankless water heater, also called an on-demand water heater, heats water on an as-needed basis. Tankless water heaters are becoming increasingly popular due to their longevity, energy efficiency, constant supply of hot water, and space-saving designs.
It is true that a tankless water heater has a higher initial cost than a traditional water heater, but it winds up paying for itself with the energy savings that you will receive. Tankless water heaters use roughly 30 to 50 percent less energy than their counterparts. Traditional water heaters store preheated water for when it is needed, and they must continually reheat the water throughout the day, resulting in higher energy use. Tankless water heaters use a heating element to heat the water on demand, therefore only using energy when needed.
Because tankless water heaters do not depend on storing preheated water, they can supply your home with an endless amount of hot water without taking up a large amount of space in your garage or basement. Most tankless water heaters are less than 3 feet tall and mounted on a wall. And best of all, everyone in your family can shower around the same time and have a hot shower to enjoy.
