Water Heater Vs Tankless Heaters

A traditional tank water heater will continuously store and heat water during those hours you don’t need hot water — it uses precious energy and burns money from your household budget. A tankless heater brings that hot water on demand. It stops running when you don’t need it — they’re designed to save energy.

Convenience

Many homes simply run out of water before everyone gets their desired shower. A standard tank water heater is sold (and priced) by how many gallons it keeps continuously hot. It stores the precious hot water resource until a line is opened. Reheating the new infill water takes time, so “recovery time” is occasionally needed after a few long showers or heavy usage. A tankless water heater doesn’t store water, but flash heats it to provide steamy showers in seconds.

The tankless technology has come a long way since it first hit the market many years ago. A consumer used to wait for a few minutes to get the water up to 115F (hot enough), and there might be a few “cold” spots, but that isn’t the case any longer. The hot water is almost instantaneous and runs as long as you have water supplied to your house! Don’t tell your kids! If they know how this works, you might never get them out of that bathroom.

Energy use

As we become increasingly aware of how much energy we use as a nation and as individual households, we recognize the value of energy efficiency. A traditional tank water heater will continuously store and heat water during those hours you don’t need hot water — it uses precious energy and burns money from your household budget. A tankless heater brings that hot water on demand. It stops running when you don’t need it — they’re designed to save energy. Most people like this feature.

Cost

Financial considerations between tank and tankless heaters primarily turn on the issue of your timeline. The longer the timeline, the more quickly you recoup the initial investment on the tankless unit and enjoy long-term energy savings. There’s no doubt that traditional tank heaters cost less at purchase, but their lifespan is considerably shorter. With the tankless unit, the savings are substantial the longer you reside in your home.

A point of reference: a standard tank heater (50-gallon electric), compared to a tankless (gas-fired), will reduce energy costs by 60% or more over time. That is a reasonably considerable saving.

Water Heater Installation & Maintenance

Installation costs on tankless heaters continue to fall as they increase in popularity. The two heaters are nearly identical in installation cost. Following installation, the difference in savings is shockingly noticeable:

Tank heaters deteriorate over time. Minerals build up inside the tank as it’s cooked over and over. The national average for tank-type water heaters is six years and ten months before being replaced. They typically only carry a 6-year warranty.

Tankless heaters are modern and more effective. They last up to 20 years with very little maintenance. The water heater is the appliance least thought about in the home until it fails! And when water heaters fail, they do so in spectacular fashion.

A homeowner is left with a nasty mess that can damage drywall and flooring. Three of every four water heaters fail due to a tank bursting or leaking 30 to 80 gallons of rusty water – depending on tank size – in an unfortunate homeowner’s attic or garage.

Look for energy-efficient, certified ENERGY STAR water heaters, as new technologies can shave anywhere from 7 to 55 percent off household water heating costs. Not bad! Call our plumbers in Mount Pleasant TN, and see how we can help you avoid a mess and high energy costs.
