Benefits of tankless water heaters
When a tankless water heater faucet is turned on, water flows into the heater and a sensor turns on the heat exchanger or heating coils. Water then flows through the heating coils and is heated to the desired temperature in a process that takes about five seconds. Since tankless water heaters heat water on an as-needed basis, they provide numerous efficiency benefits that you don't see with conventional water heaters.
Tankless water heaters waste less water
The process for turning on a shower heated by a conventional hot water heater is as follows: turn on the shower, wait one to two minutes for the water to heat up and then begin showering. This can waste thousands of gallons of water per year! With a tankless water heater, water is heated instantly, reducing pre-shower water loss.
Tankless water heaters have reduced heat loss
In a conventional storage water tank, 20-40% of heat is wasted as it radiates out from the storage tank. This is known as "standby loss." Since tankless water heaters do not store their hot water, there is no risk of standby loss.
Tankless water heaters have unlimited supply
Conventional storage tanks tend to run out of hot water after periods of extended demand. Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, heat water constantly and can literally run all day without any fluctuations in temperature.
Tankless water heaters have lower scalding risk
In order to ensure reasonable refresh rates, conventional hot water heaters need to be set at very high temperatures - usually upwards of 130oF. This not only increases your energy costs, but also increases the risk of scalding, especially for children and the elderly. Tankless water heaters allow you to set the temperature much lower, lowering heating costs and significantly reducing the risk of scalding.
Tankless water heaters have reduced occurrence of hard water minerals
When water is heated for extended periods of time, hard water scale forms much more readily. Hard water scale can coat the internal components of your water heater, leading to lower efficiency and potentially shorter life. Tankless hot water heaters generally handle sediment and scale much more effectively, and as a result are able to maintain their high efficiency through their entire lifecycle.
Tankless water heaters have longer life span and simpler disposal
Conventional water heaters usually last from six to twelve years, and they are bulky and difficult to dispose of when the time comes. Tankless water heaters can last more than 20 years, and are often no bigger than a briefcase.
