Tankless Water Heaters: A Worthy Investment
Upgrade your water heater with Sierra Propane
Hot water accounts for about 20% of the average U.S. home’s energy usage. That means that we are all spending quite a bit of money on our hot water needs. And rightfully so. We need hot water to shower, wash our hands, do our laundry, and wash our dirty dishes. Based on all this, it makes sense that you would want to know that your water heater, or the water heater you are thinking of buying, is a good, smart, and solid investment. So how do you do this? Sierra Propane recommends going with a tankless water heater for your home here in Arizona or New Mexico.
What Is a Tankless Water Heater?
As you can probably infer from the name, a tankless water heater does not have a storage tank the way traditional storage tank water heaters do.
Tankless water heaters have a sensor that signals to the unit when a hot water tap is opened within a home. The water in the unit then gets heated with a propane-powered flame. When the tap is closed, the flame turns off and the water stops getting heated. This process continues the next time the hot water tap is opened. Tankless water heaters only work on demand and only heat water when it is requested.
What Makes a Tankless Water Heater a Good Investment?
Here are some factors that make a tankless water heater a great choice for a home:
- Lower utility bills and energy costs: Because tankless water heaters only work on demand, they don’t expend energy warming water when faucets are closed and shut off. This equates to reduced expenses and cost savings. Additionally, there is virtually no standby heat loss with a tankless water heater, which also helps with a homeowner’s budget.
- They last a long time: A tankless water heater is a smart long-term investment. In fact, if you take care of and properly maintain your tankless water heater, you can get 15 to 20 years out of it.
- They don’t require frequent repairs: Compared to other types of water heaters, tankless heaters usually need fewer repairs over the years. This means that you are not constantly calling and spending money on professional service appointments.
- Your home will have an endless supply of hot water: Even though tankless water heaters work on demand, they are still able to provide all the hot water your home needs.
- They are effective: Tankless water heaters are about 22% more efficient and effective than tank water heaters are. This will have a positive effect on your energy bills as well.
- They are small and compact: Not only can tankless water heaters save you money, but they can also help homeowners save about 12 square feet of floor space in their homes. If you are short on room, a tankless water heater is definitely a smart way to go.
