Tankless water heaters provide several benefits over traditional tank models, making them an increasingly popular choice for Santa Rosa homeowners. Depending on the size of your home, your water usage, and other factors, it may be worth the initial investment for you to upgrade to one.
Some of the benefits of tankless water heaters include:
- Energy Efficiency: Tankless units are significantly more energy efficient as they don't require a storage tank. By not having to heat and maintain a storage tank of water, tankless systems can significantly reduce energy costs.
- On-Demand Hot Water: Tankless systems can provide hot water on demand without any wait times. This eliminates the need for long showers or running out of hot water while doing dishes.
- Longer Lifespan: When compared to traditional tank models, tankless water heaters that receive proper maintenance and care, have a longer life expectancy that can last up to 20 years. This makes them an ideal option for those looking for reliable hot water over time.
- Compact Size: Originally popular in Europe due to their compact size, tankless units are much smaller than traditional water heaters and take up less space in your home.
Our Santa Rosa plumbers are knowledgeable about tankless water heaters and can help you determine if one is right for your home.
How Do Tankless Water Heaters Work?
Tankless water heaters are incredibly efficient and work by heating the water directly without the need for a storage tank. This results in hot water available on demand, reducing wait times and conserving energy. The system uses an electric or gas-powered burner to quickly heat the cold water that flows through its pipes, then sends it directly to your tap or shower.
Tankless units also have a digital thermostat, allowing users to set their desired temperature. As long as there is a steady flow of cold water, the tankless unit will continuously heat up and supply hot water at all times, making them incredibly efficient compared to traditional tank models.
