slide 1: Why should you think of upgrading
to a tankless water heater
slide 2: Water heaters are an essential commodity in any household. You have to be
aware of the maintenance of your heaters constantly. Failing to properly look
after the functioning of the water heater tank can lead to unmitigated disasters
like leakage and corrosion. These water heaters with a tank can then require
immediate replacement. Today the majority of the population is opting to
upgrade to tankless water heaters as they are constantly proving to be more
beneficial than maintaining the water heater with tanks. You should consult with
a professional who provides these kinds of plumbing solutions to your water
heater woes and can help you upgrade your water heater systems.
Installing a tankless water heater is quite beneficial
No doubt installing a water heater with a tank is comparatively cheaper but
when you weigh other positives of the tankless water heater you can analyze how
it is a wiser option. The water heater tank faces the major problem of thermal
expansion wherein we observe that the air and water expand on heating. This
increases the pressure on the water which may lead to leaks pipes bursting etc.
Upgrading to a tankless water heater can eliminate this risk.
slide 3: Saves energy
A tankless water heater helps to reduce your expenses on utility bills as they
consume less energy. A tankless water heater runs only according to your
requirements. It has an on/off mechanism so that you can obtain hot water for
activities like your baths and while washing utensils but can turn it off when
watering your garden. Also there is zero energy consumption to keep the water
stored in the tank hot. This way you are sure to get freshly heated water
whenever you need it. This also eliminates the time wasted when the heated
water is over. It takes time for the water in the tank to be refilled and then
heated whereas tankless heaters give you hot water on the go.
Takes up less room
The water heater tank takes up a huge space and with the new safety regulations
it has to be insulated properly to increase its efficiency. All this can become quite
cumbersome in terms of the area it occupies. When you choose to upgrade your
system and install a tankless water heater it is very flexible in terms of space it
occupies. It can be installed under your kitchen sink or the wall of your utility
closet.
slide 4: You can choose between electric and gas heater options
Similar to the conventional water heaters the tankless counterparts can also be
purchased with an electric or gas heating systems. The type of fuel source that
you choose to go for will not affect the effective cost to a great extent. You can
find your preferred kind of product without much hassle. The heater fueled with
are gas comes with the usual risk and therefore the electric tankless heaters are
more popular amongst the consumers.
Long-lasting and easy to maintain
One of the prime reasons you should consider an upgrade is that your current
water heater tank comes with an expiry date within a decade of its installation.
After almost 8 to 10 years of usage it’s efficiency decreases. The new tankless
water heaters are known to last for at least 20 years and have easier maintenance
procedures. They don’t require replacement due to small leaks or corrosions.
These come with replaceable parts and can be fixed by a local plumber in a jiffy.
slide 5: Upgrade to the tankless water heater for improved lifestyle
The realtors have testified to the fact that houses with such tankless water
systems have much higher resale value. This is because tankless water heaters
bring a sense of advancement and make the home more efficient. It is a boon in
terms of space it occupies as well as the energy it consumes. The water heater
with tanks demands a regular checkup by a professional whereas these can be
checked once every few years to ensure their efficiency and any faulty parts can
be easily replaced and they will be as good as new. This upgrade makes sense as
its pros outweigh the cons marginally and a one-time investment gives long
returns.
