Top Ten Reasons You Need A Tankless Water Heater

Top Ten Reasons You Need A Tankless Water Heater

Everyone loves hot water regardless if it’s a shower, tub or otherwise. If you are a Utah homeowner, here are the top ten reasons you need a tankless water heater.

 

Here Is The List From 1 – 10 Reasons You Need A Tankless Water Heater

Here we will look at the many benefits for you and your family. Tankless hot water heaters are becoming a trend for a reason. They are energy efficient, offer endless hot water and save money. Energy savings reasons you need a tankless water heater.

1. Will save you money on gas bills because it runs only when in use

A standard gas water heater is running all of the time. A tankless unit only runs when hot water is requested. Also instead of heating let’s say 50 gallons of water in a tank. A tankless unit only heats a small amount of water that travels through the unit. On average this is only about 5.2 gallons of water. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates gas-fired tankless heaters users see a savings of $108 (U.S. average) in gas energy costs over a tanked unit. This savings is realized every year. With electric tankless heaters over the traditional tanked water heater saves an average of $44 every year. If you have a large family, you can easily triple that! That adds up year after year to a lot of money saved.

2. Endless hot water

Take as many showers or bathtub fills as you want. Wouldn’t it be nice for all the members of your family to take a shower one after another. You will never have to wait for your water to be heated up again. Instead enjoy a endless stream of instant hot water.

3. Make more room in your utility room

A tanked water heater takes up a lot of room. Especially the larger units like 40 and 50 gallon capacity. They take up to 22 cubic feet in space. Yet another reasons you need a tankless water heater that only takes up 6 – 7 cubic feet.

4. They last longer

Think about it. A standard tanked water heater constantly has a large amount of hot water in it. This heater water in one tank sitting stagnant causes corrosion. As opposed to a tanked unit without a lot of water sitting in it.

5. Use less electricity

In Utah, most homes will use about 40 gallons of water every day. This can save somewhere between 25%–35% energy if switched to tankless water heater. This is over a tanked electric unit. Install a point of use tankless water heater system and more water and electricity will be saved. This allows a home to realize a range of 35%-40% more energy efficiency.

6. Resale value of a modern upgrade

When it comes time to sell you home you will have a greater resale value due to the increased energy efficiency. It will increase resale desirability. Yet another of the many reasons you need a tankless water heater.

7. Get your tax refund credit or energy rebate

Here is your chance to receive money back on your taxes. There are also some Utah gas companies that offer rebates as well. Some for them range from $50 all the way up to $300. This can different depending on the state you live in as well as the local utility you are using. For Utah Dominion Energy ENERGY STAR® Certified: $300 for tankless units.

8. Zero risk of being scalded from overly hot water with ease of temperature setting

Tanked water heaters can easily run out of hot water. When the temperature runs cold, you will not have to experience the sudden rush of hot water by turning the hot faucet to high. With a tankless you can easily dial in the temperature on the face of the unit.

9. Ease of serviceability

Just think how difficult it is to get to the elements of an electric hot water heater. You have to take the covers off and drain the entire tank to replace them. For gas the entire heating system is at the very bottom. For tankless units they are under a small cover that is often at chest height for easy accessibility.

10. Be the envy of the neighborhood

As you are well aware, people talk. This is especially true for your neighbors. Once they find out you have a tankless water they will start asking questions. Yet another reasons you need a tankless water heater. You will give them something to talk about.

Excellent communication and repiping process by Jon and the Keemer Plumbing team. We had a full re-pipe due to Poly B and they were able to complete the full repipe within the timeframe presented. They were very clear about pricing, possible upgrades, critical details and potential issues throughout the process. In addition, every referall they gave for electrical and drywall finishing work has also been excellent to work with. We had a minor concern (unrelated to the repiping process other than perhaps the entire system was much more efficient than the prior, so we were not used to it) and Patrick, the president of the company, personally came out to verify everything was running correctly, which, to me, says a lot about their commitment to their clients and upholding quality of services. I absolutely recommend them for any plumbing needs.

Keemer Plumbing did a repipe on our 1950’s home among other things. We shopped around quite a bit and so glad we decided to go with this business. Super professional team, great quality work, always responsive, on time. It was a big project and they did a fantastic job overall. Updating to reflect their most recent work. We discovered a gas leak, Keemer came out to fix their mistake. They had to cut some dry wall but said someone would contact us in the next few days. Over a week has passed no one has reached out and when w reached out They didn’t have a record..
