Tankless Water Heater FAQs
The cost of operating a tankless water heater is generally lower than a traditional tank water heater. Tankless models heat water on demand, eliminating the energy waste associated with maintaining a tank of hot water. This efficiency can lead to energy savings of 24-34% for households using less than 41 gallons of hot water daily. However, tankless units have higher upfront costs and installation expenses. Over time, the energy savings can offset these initial costs, making tankless water heaters more cost-effective in the long run.
Regular maintenance of a tankless water heater involves descaling to remove mineral buildup, typically done annually. This process involves flushing the system with vinegar or a descaling solution. The inlet filter should also be cleaned to prevent blockages. Additionally, inspect the venting system for obstructions, and check the pressure relief valve for proper operation. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance, extends the unit's lifespan, and maintains energy efficiency. Consult your manufacturer's guidelines for specific instructions.
Yes, tankless water heaters are generally more expensive to install than traditional water heaters. The higher cost is due to the complex installation process, which often requires upgrading electrical or gas lines and installing venting systems. Additionally, the unit cost of a tankless water heater is typically higher. However, the long-term savings from improved energy efficiency and the longer lifespan of tankless systems can offset the initial investment over time. Consider both installation costs and long-term benefits.
Benefits Of Going Tankless
Endless Hot Water – A standard tank water heater can only provide a limited amount of heated water as it heats the water in the tank. A tankless system works by heating water as it leaves the system with a series of superheated coils wrapped around the water pipes. No Wait Time – Because the hot water is generated almost immediately, it means that you get the benefit of hot water more quickly than before. Energy Efficient – Standard water heaters must constantly heat the water inside the tank. With tankless systems, this is not necessary. Therefore tankless units use much less energy than standard systems. Less Room – Tankless systems take up much less space than standard tank units, so if you are short on space in an area, tankless may be an ideal solution.

One important thing to remember about tankless systems is that they need regular maintenance just like standard tank systems do. During this regular maintenance, the system is flushed to rid it of any mineral build-up that may have occurred during its operation. There are air and water filters that need to be cleaned out too. The system will be checked and inspected for prime functionality as well.
