Conventional vs Tankless Water Heaters
Happily, the days of the noisy, inefficient hot water tank is numbered.
You don't use hot water 24 hours a day. But with a conventional water heater, you're paying to heat water 24 hours a day - heating and reheating the same water even when you're sleeping.
A tankless water heater:
- is a more efficient way to heat water. It heats water quickly and delivers an endless supply of hot water to multiple outlets without any fluctuation in temperature - saving you up to 14% on your energy bill.
- reduces hot water costs up to 50% over conventional gas heaters and up to 70% over electric heaters.
- is small enough to be wall mounted, allowing it to be installed practically anywhere in the house. (Conventional heaters require about 16 square feet of floor space.)
- requires less maintenance and lasts longer. Since there's no sediment, there's no need to flush the tank on an regular basis. The life expectancy is 25 years (Conventional tanks last about 10 years).
