First, are you on the fence about to install a tankless water heater? You don’t have to wait any longer. There are enough reasons why should go tankless. First, you will enjoy many benefits including;
It’s more efficient. Despite being pricier tankless water heaters are more efficient. Research shows that tankless water heaters are 30 to 35 percent more energy efficient. This translates to more savings and reduced expenses.
Tankless water heaters don’t store any water in them. They heat water on demand. As such, water leakage is near impossible. However, after several years of usage, it is possible that the piping and joints may start leaking. This means that despite the fact that it is rare for these tanks to leak; there are chances of leaks.
Mostly, in case it happens, tankless water heaters leak from the bottom or along with the connections. It may seem not a big deal at first. However, as time goes, the leakage may turn out to be catastrophic if not taken seriously.
Manufacturers and users agree on one thing. The location of the tankless water heater affects its efficiency. Ideal locations ensure that water remains hot even during the coldest season. There is a direct correlation between the heater’s performance and where it is. For example, installing it closer to the demand source ensures that less water goes to waste.
Tankless water heaters have higher efficiency than their standard counterparts that use energy continuously to keep their water tanks hot. The sweet spot with these models is that they rarely develop problems. However, they are also susceptible to technical hitches. In this article, we discuss these hitches and also guide you on how to fix some of the problems all by yourself. We also tell you when you need to get a professional on board. Shall we?
