If we ask you to picture a water\nheater in your head, what do you envision? We\u2019d guess you\u2019re seeing a big tank\nthat has pipes and lines coming out of it, right? Now, take away the tank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you\u2019re confused by this concept, or maybe the room you pictured in your mind is now flooded, depending on how deep your imagination runs. However, we want to bring this idea up because you do not actually require a tank to get hot water into your home. This is due to the invention of tankless water heaters. To see how they compare to traditional systems, check out our overview of tank vs. tankless water heaters<\/a> and make an informed decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tankless system is just about\nwhat it sounds like. It heats up hot water, but doesn\u2019t require the use of a\ntank to hold multiple gallons of water at a time. Not only is this a great\npiece of technology, but there are a number of benefits associated with it.\nRead on to learn more! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why Choose a Tankless Water Heater for Your Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tankless water heaters aren\u2019t the right choice for every <\/em>home, but they\u2019re a great choice\nfor many! Here are just a few of the benefits, which you can use to help you\ndetermine if this is the right choice for your household. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re Very Energy Efficient: <\/strong>Since tankless water heaters do not need to constantly keep gallons of water at a certain temperature, they end up using about 30-50% less energy than a standard tank water heater. The fact that you never need to worry about standby loss of energy caused by keeping water warm and ready can be reason enough to consider this installation. If you’re on the fence, take a look at these 4 key benefits of tankless water heaters<\/a> that might tip the scale in favor of upgrading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Use Less Water: <\/strong>A\ntankless water heater heats up water as it is requested. This works because\nwhen a tap or appliance comes on, the heat exchangers start working. The water\ntravels over the heat exchangers, picking up the heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Use Less Space: <\/strong>Without\na big, multi-gallon tank, your tankless water heater will use up a lot less\nspace than the more traditional tank water heater. This means you\u2019ll have more\nspace to use in your garage or basement\u2014wherever you have the system installed.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are Resolutions to its Limitations: <\/strong>All appliances have limitations, and the biggest one for a tankless water heater is that it might have issues meeting large water demands. Meaning if two people are taking a shower at once, or if you\u2019re trying to use hot water in the dishwasher and clothes washing machine at the same time. Fortunately, these issues can be addressed with solutions like installing a second tankless system or a much smaller and more affordable tank water heater. To see if your household usage fits the model, learn why you should consider a tankless water heater<\/a> based on your water needs and daily habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all these great benefits, it is important for\nhomeowners to remember that tankless water heaters should only ever be\ninstalled by a trained and experienced professional. Whether you go with\nelectric or gas-fueled, there are components that could potentially be\nhazardous if not handled correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
