Advantages of Tankless Water Heaters

When selecting a new water-heating system for your home, it can be difficult to choose between a tankless unit and a traditional water heater. There are many advantages to installing a tankless water heater, including:

• Save space: Tankless water heaters take up less space than traditional water heaters because they do not have a storage tank.
• Don’t wait for hot water: Because tankless water heaters heat water on demand, there is no risk of running out of hot water.
• More energy-efficient: Tankless water heaters use less energy than traditional water heaters because they only heat water on demand and don’t heat — and reheat — a full tank of water.
• Increased safety: Tankless water units can be safer than traditional units because they only operate when needed and don’t run continuously, like traditional units. This can diminish the strength of the core elements of the unit and the storage tank. Most tankless water heaters also utilize a number of safety features that will turn the unit off if a pressure or flow problem occurs.
• Longer life expectancy: Tankless water heaters can last as long as 20 years or more, which can almost double the life expectancy of a traditional unit.

Nice Heating & Air is proud to service and install all Navien tankless water heaters.

Common Concerns With Tankless Water Heaters

There are large differences between tankless water heaters and traditional units. When deciding to install a tankless water heater, there can be common concerns. Some of these can include:

• Higher upfront costs: The initial cost of the system can be more expensive, but the energy savings you receive can help outweigh the price of your system.
• More installation needs: When installing the system, extensive piping, proper venting, and electrical expertise are necessary for proper installation.
• Needs regular maintenance: Corrosion and mineral buildup may occur if the unit is not flushed every six months.
• Product overload: A problem called product overload can occur if the heater was improperly sized or is subjected to heavy use.

Tankless Water Heater FAQs

What is the life expectancy of a tankless water heater?

Most tankless water heaters will last 20 to 25 years, or about twice the service life of a storage tank model.

Do tankless water heaters provide instant hot water?

Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, but it will take a few seconds to reach the tap after the hot water is turned on. For faster hot water, consider adding a recirculation system, which ensures hot water is always available right away at your faucets.

Can I directly replace a storage tank model with a tankless water heater?

Though tankless water heaters are more efficient, some homes may require upgrades to the gas valve or electrical service to provide the higher instantaneous energy necessary for a tankless water heater to heat water quickly.

Do I need a water softener for my tankless water heater?

If you have hard water, a water softener may reduce your maintenance requirements, as tankless water heaters are vulnerable to limescale and mineral accumulations that could clog the heat exchanger.

Does a tankless water heater really provide unlimited hot water?

If it is sized correctly for your home and installed properly, a tankless water heater can provide a virtually endless supply of hot water. Our experts at Nice Heating & Air can make sure your home has all the hot water it needs with our professional tankless water heater installations.
