Should you go for a tankless water heater or a storage device? This is one of the most daunting questions when planning to buy a hot water heater.
Despite the high installation and service costs, Tankless water heaters also known as instantaneous water heaters are becoming increasingly common among households in Sydney due to a number of reasons.
1.Endless Supply of Hot Water
Who doesn’t hate going through the frustration of running out of hot water? With a tankless water heater, you no longer need to schedule your chores, and can take shower, do the laundry or the dishes simultaneously, because you have endless supply of hot water.
Convenience and time saving is the key to the popularity of tankless water heaters as compared to the conventional storage device.
2.Reliable and Durable
Tankless water heaters typically last longer than storage tanks, as long as 20 years before you will need to get them replaced. This largely off sets their high installation cost and the need to buy a new tank after 8 to 10 years in the case of storage tanks.
3.Energy Efficient
The basic concept of tankless water heaters or instantaneous water heaters is that you tend to put them to work only when hot water is needed. This means you don’t have to keep the pilot lit or reheat the water if it turns cold, thereby saving energy and reducing your utility bills.
4.Space Saving
Has your storage water tank occupied too much of space that you would rather like to put at some better use? A great thing about tankless water heaters is that their compact design allows them to fit even in the tiniest of spaces.
So whether it’s your home’s interior or exterior, the basement or the store room, space is not a problem anymore!
4.A Greener Alternative
Being highly energy efficient tankless water heaters a greener alternative to storage water tanks. Longer life span and compact size means less wastage of parts when your system’s useful life ends. Energy efficiency means you end up conserving more natural resources, whether you choose an electric tankless water heater or one that runs on gas. What’s more, most of these systems emit lower amounts of carbon dioxide keeping the atmosphere cleaner.
