Many countries across the globe are switching to energy efficient tankless hot water heaters
An increasing number of people are also switching to electric and even gas heaters and discovering that these systems perform as well as their old tank based units but for a fraction of the cost.
However, before you toss your old tank based system to the curb, there are certain requirements, which must be met before installing an electric water heater in your home. First, you must make sure that you either have the proper electrical requirements such as voltage, amperage, and circuit breaker already in place in your home, or have them installed. If your tankless system is gas, then you have to make sure that you have an adequate venting system in place to allow for air circulation.
Many people consider themselves very handy as a do-it-yourselfer, however it is strongly suggested that you have a professional contractor install your water heater. This will also prevent any warranties from being void, as well as ensuring that your system is installed properly.
Why should you consider one? Tank systems continuously heat the water even when no water is drawn from the tank, such as when we are sleeping or away from the home. This wasted energy is referred to as ‘standby loses.’ This standby loses represents approximately 10% to 20% of a household’s annual water heating cost. With a tankless system, when the hot water faucet is opened, the flow of water turns on the heating element, which heats the water as it runs through copper tubes. When the faucet is turned off, so is the heat, saving you money in energy cost.
Another benefit you will receive with a tankless system is that they generate hot water at a more consistent rate, providing you with a shower or bath that will be more reliable as far as temperature. No more will you have to continually be turning up or down the hot water to maintain the temperature of your shower.
