Tankless Heater Installation FAQs & Service Questions
Planning to go tankless? Worried you’re not sure if it’s the right decision? Our FAQs guide will clear up any doubts you have and help you make the right choice.
Tankless Hot Water Heater Vs. Traditional Water Heaters
Hot Water Supply
Technically speaking, tankless units have an “unlimited” hot water supply. Imagine you come from a long family trip, and 5 of you are dying to have a hot shower.
By the time it reaches the 5th person, you’re most likely going to have a cold bath instead. With a tankless heater, this doesn’t happen.
There’s a reason why tankless heaters are called on-demand heaters. It’s because it heats a certain amount of water at ANY given time.
In other words, taking a 10-minute shower will have just as much hot water as a 5-hour shower.
For traditional storage tank heaters, there’s a fixed amount of pre-heated water, so once the tank runs out, you won’t have heated water until the tank fills back up.
Operating Costs
According to the ConsumerReports, the annual operating costs below are for gas and electric models:
Tankless: For electric tankless models, operating costs were at $535 and $195 for gas
Traditional: For electric traditional models, operating costs were at $580 and $245 for gas
This indicates you save more on tankless models than traditional models long-term.
Installation
Furthermore, electric tankless models require a quality install to ensure the best performance.
There’s a certain amp wattage you need to run electric models, so if the material costs seem steep, you can talk to a licensed plumber to discuss your options. In this case, you can consider getting a gas tankless model.
There’s no denying you have to pay more upfront for tankless water heaters; however, it’s worth noting that apart from saving more with tankless, they last longer too.
Tankless models last up to 20 years, while traditional hot water tank models only last 12 years.
Energy Cost Savings
Tankless heaters are 8% to 50% more efficient than traditional water heaters. But this also depends on how many gallons of hot water you use per day.
- If you use less than 41 gallons per day, you’re looking at 24% to 34% efficiency
- If you use more than 85 gallons per day, you’re looking at 8% to 14% efficiency
The point is tankless hot water heater models are more efficient, generating lower energy costs and operation costs so you save money long-term.
According to Energy Star, you can save about $100 annually and up to $1500 for the heater’s lifetime use.
Space
Traditional storage tank water heaters take up a lot of space.
This might not be a problem for larger homes, but smaller homes can significantly benefit from compact tankless water heaters that’s roughly the same size as your circuit breaker.
Should You Go Tankless?
It all boils down to these questions:
- How long have you had your heater? Is it an old tank?
- Are you installing or replacing in a new home?
- Is the heated water inconsistent when you have showers back-to-back? How often do you request for a water heater repair service?
- Do you have plans to renovate your basement or garage and need extra space?
Here’s how you decide:
- If your current heater has been with you for more than 12 years, it’s about time for a replacement. An old tank won’t last as long and the repairs will only spike in costs.
- You answered “Yes” to questions 4 and 5, you’re likely better off switching to tankless water heaters, especially if you said “Yes” to question #2.
- If your storage tank heater is fairly new, and you have plans to move to another place or home soon, it’s best to call a professional plumbing and HVAC service to discuss your options.
- It’s safer and more cost-effective to choose tankless if you plan to install your heater in a home you plan to stay in for more than 20-30 years.
