6 Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters
A tankless water heater is an alternative to a traditional water heater and more and more California homeowners and business owners are choosing them. However, at The Stanley Louis Company, we’re finding that many of our customers have never heard of this option. Here are six reasons that we often recommend them to our clients who want a new or upgraded water heater.
-
You get water right away
-
You won’t waste time or money heating standby water
-
You have more room
-
You’ll use less energy compared to tank heaters
-
Tankless systems last for decades
-
You can choose between gas and electric
A tankless water heater assures you get hot water instantly. Why wait for your hot water heater to heat up? Why wait to heat up gallons and gallons of water? Many people are under the mistaken impression that a tankless system requires time to heat up the water but that isn’t the case at all.
When you use a more traditional water heater, the tank keeps water heated at all times. This gives you instant access to a finite amount of water but think about how much standby heat you’re losing by keeping water warm even when you don’t need it.
How much floor space does your water heater take up? Could you better use that floor space? Of course you could. With a tankless heater, it’s smaller and it’s not located on the floor. As a result, you gain floor space without having to do any renovation.
In this day and age, everyone is looking for ways to decrease their energy usage – and for good reason! The cost of electricity is going up and up every year, and many people are becoming increasingly concerned about their own personal impact on the environment. Using less energy is better for many reasons and a tankless heater allows you to use less energy.
One of the most important things you’ll be considering as you work with The Stanley Louis Company to figure out what type of water heater is best for your home is how much your unit will cost. You’ll likely consider the short-term cost and the long-term cost. As you compare these values, remember that a tankless system can last for more than 20 years. As a result, it may be worth it to spend more upfront if it means getting a system that works for decades to come.
Do you have a preference between gas or electric? Is your home more easily suited to one or another? There are pros and cons to both and when you contact The Stanley Louis Company at 800-217-6527 we’ll go over all your options for you. However, it’s always a good thing to have more options, and with a tankless system you will have your choice of gas or electric. Reach out to us today for more information.
