Tankless or Standard Water Heaters: Which Should You Choose?

Tankless water heaters provide many advantages over standard water heaters. Below are six reasons to consider installing a tankless water heater.

• Never-ending hot water With a tankless water heater, your supply of hot water is endless, no matter how much water you use or which appliances are running at the same time. Tankless water heaters operate on demand, so hot water is there when you need it.
• Lower utility bills Because tankless water heaters use 10-20% less energy than their standard counterparts, utility bills drop. Standard heaters store water and must reheat it at intervals, consuming energy. Tankless water heaters do not store water.
• Save space Tankless water heaters are much smaller than standard water heaters because they have no tank. Replacing a standard water heater with a tankless model frees up space in your home for other use.
• Longer lifespan Tankless water heaters can last up to 25 years or longer. Compare this to the average standard water heater which usually lasts five to ten years. Tankless models also tend to require fewer repairs over their lifetime.
• Cleaner water Standard water heaters with tanks experience a buildup of scale and residue which gets deposited through faucets, fixtures, and shower heads. Tankless water heaters have no deposit, scale or residue, so the water remains pure and clean.

High-efficiency tankless models are also available.
