The Truth About Tankless Water Heaters: Are They the Right Choice for Your Home?

When it comes to recent innovations, tankless hot water heaters are nothing new. However, the technology has been improving quickly in recent years and as a result, more and more people are realizing how great this option is. Whether you already have one and need it repaired, replaced, or upgraded, or you are just starting to think about having one installed, The Stanley Louis Company is here to help. We can assist in the selection, installation, repair, and maintenance of all types of tankless water heaters.

There are many benefits of using a tankless water heater

While no water heater is perfect for every need, there are some significant advantages to using a tankless water heater over a traditional water heater:

• You get hot water instantly
• They last between 20 and 25 years (compared to 8 – 12 years for traditional hot water heaters)
• They’re about the size of a small suitcase and are installed on the wall, which frees up floor space
• The fact that there’s no tank means there’s no standby heat loss
• It’s less expensive to run
• You can choose between gas and electric

There are some drawbacks to tankless water heaters

We are interested in helping you find the best water heater for your needs and it may not be a tankless system. One of the main drawbacks is that there’s a limited flow rate. As an example, an average demand tankless water heater can likely provide about 2 to 6 gallons of heated water each minute. For larger homes, or homes with a high need for hot water, this may not be enough. Of course, there are options, such as installing a larger unit or using several units within the home.

You also will need ventilation to properly use your system. The good news is that we will make sure that everything is installed correctly and that everything is in compliance with all code standards.

A planned maintenance program may help you save money in the long run
