What are tankless water heaters?
As their name implies, tankless water heaters don’t carry water in a tank like standard water heaters do. Instead, they are demand-type systems: they heat water as needed for your home, by running water past heating within the system. This essentially means that tankless water heaters can supply an unlimited amount of hot water. This makes them a great fit for households with large families that need to get ready in the morning.
How do I know if my old water heater needs to be replaced?
On average, standard water heaters last between 10-12 years before needing to be replaced. However, if yours is older than that, you may want to consider upgrading to a new standard or tankless water heater. Here are just some of the problems you might encounter running an older water heater: reduced energy-efficiency, reduced heating performance, and an increased risk of tank bursting.
Are tankless water heaters more efficient than standard ones?
On average, tankless water heaters are more than 30% more energy efficient than standard water heaters. This could mean that you save more than $100 a year on energy. Over two decades, that’s $2,000 saved on energy alone.
How much does it cost to install a tankless water heater?
it typically costs between $4000 to $8000 to install a tankless water heater (including the unit). The range in price comes from the complexity of the system, the layout of your home, and the unit you choose to install.
Are tankless water heaters hard to install?
A tankless water heater isn’t necessarily hard to install. However, compared to a traditional water heater, there are more steps involved in installing a tankless unit, like adding ventilation and adjusting the gas flow rate to meet the unit’s needs.
What size tankless water heater is needed for a family of 4?
The actual answer to this question really depends on how much water your family uses. In general, if you have a family of four you should look for a tankless water heater that’s rated at 8-10 gallons per minute (for gas units) or 20-28 kW (for electric units).
Can a tankless water heater work for the whole house?
For sure! You just need to make sure you’re buying a unit that can heat water quickly enough to keep up with your household’s needs. If you’re not sure, just chat with one of our tankless water heater experts — they’ll help you pick out a unit that works for your family.
