How A New Tankless Water Heater Can Help
Traditional hot water systems utilize a large storage tank for hot water. Throughout the day, the system will turn on and off to maintain a set temperature for the water inside the tank. Then, when you need to use hot water in your kitchen, bathroom, or other area of your home, the water flows from the tank. The tank then refills with water, and the system must heat it up all over again. When you have used up all of the hot water in the tank, you’ll then have to wait for the tank to heat back up.
With tankless water heaters, on the other hand, there is no storage tank. Instead, the system heats the water rapidly as you request it, delivering hot water only when you need it. There is no wasted energy maintaining heat within a storage tank, and you’ll never run out of hot water when you need it. Tankless systems can accommodate homes of all sizes, even if you have a large family.
The benefits of tankless water heaters include:
- Endless hot water
- No waiting for a tank to heat up
- Enhanced energy efficiency
- Minimal space requirements
- Boost in home value
If you are considering adding instantaneous hot water to your Peoria home, you should know that the tankless water heater installation process is relatively quick and easy. Although these types of water heaters tend to be a bit more costly up front than tank-based varieties, you’ll save a lot of money in the long run, thanks to the improved energy efficiency.
Your water heater technician will inspect your home and plumbing system to determine the most appropriate place to install your new water heater. Because tankless heaters have slim profiles and no storage tank, they don’t necessarily need to be relegated to the garage, though it is still possible to install them there. You could also put yours into a closet under the stairs or other out-of-the-way location. Your plumber can advise you as to the most appropriate spot.
Hooking up a tankless water heater is simply a matter of connecting the unit to your plumbing system, so the process requires minimal demolition, if any. Your technician can also remove and haul away any old water heaters, whether you are replacing an existing tankless system or making the switch from a traditional water heater.
