And they can actually be a fantastic, efficient resource for those homeowners! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing is, if you&#8217;re like most individuals, you want to be as comfortable as possible in your living space, as affordably as possible. Traditional tank water heaters don&#8217;t always allow for this. And tankless systems are a great alternative for many homeowners looking to save money and\/or have instant hot water whenever they need it. Below, we&#8217;re going to uncover the various benefits that exist when living in a home with a tankless water heater. If you&#8217;re new to the concept, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/water-heater-service\/water-heater-technology-overview-of-tank-vs-tankless-water-heaters\/\">overview of tank vs. tankless water heaters<\/a> breaks down the key differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to learn more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">There are two ways to heat the water coming to your plumbing appliances and fixtures. It&#8217;s either readily available in a tank that is consistently kept hot, or you have a device that heats it &#8220;on-demand&#8221; when an appliance or tap calls for it. Most homes today do use a conventional tank water heater, and tankless systems <em>are <\/em>a bit more expensive to have installed. But the benefits pay off! Your home might be a great candidate for a tankless water heater if&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You Want Improved Energy Efficiency: <\/strong>Tankless water heaters, as we mentioned, work &#8220;on-demand.&#8221; This means that instead of having a reservoir of water that can suffer from standby heat loss, they have a heat exchanger that doesn&#8217;t turn on until you turn on a hot water tap or an appliance that will be using hot water (like your clothes washing machine or your dishwasher). This is much more efficient than the tank model! For a full breakdown of efficiency and performance, explore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awheatingandcooling.com\/blog\/water-heater-service\/4-benefits-of-tankless-water-heaters\/\">4 benefits of tankless water heaters<\/a> that highlight why so many homeowners are making the switch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You&#8217;re Looking for Longer Water Heater Lifespan: <\/strong>If you&#8217;re lucky, you can make it through a couple of decades before you have to even consider replacing your water heater. That is, only if you have a tankless system! The reason for this is that, unlike the tank water heater, the components of the tankless water heater aren&#8217;t in constant contact with water&#8211;so they don&#8217;t succumb to corrosion as fast. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You Want to Save Space: <\/strong>Let&#8217;s face it, even the smallest of storage tank water heaters take up a lot of valuable real estate in your home. Some people have no choice but to keep theirs in a closet space within their home. Think of everything you could do with that space instead! A tankless water heater is a much smaller appliance that houses the heat exchanger, and can be installed on an internal or exterior wall, up out of the way. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You Would Like Unlimited Hot Water: <\/strong>Now, tankless water heaters <em>do <\/em>have their limits. If you have multiple plumbing fixtures and appliances all demanding hot water at the same time, the system <em>can <\/em>get overwhelmed. So in this case, some homeowners choose to have two tankless systems installed in their home to compensate. That said, when compared to a tank system, you don&#8217;t have to worry about &#8220;running out&#8221; of hot water during the day!
