San Angelo Tankless Water Heaters

It would be understandable to assume that your options for water heating technologies are fairly limited. Most of us grew up with a standard natural gas tank water heater stashed away somewhere in a garage or closet.

There are many benefits to upgrading to a tankless water heating system, and the folks here at Earl’s Plumbing want to make sure that our customers are equipped with all of the knowledge and information possible so that they can make the best decision regarding their water heating needs.

Pros & Cons Of Going Tankless

Pros

Here at Earl’s Plumbing, it’s our opinion that generally the pros of switching to a tankless water heater far outweigh the cons. There are, however, several factors to consider when thinking about switching. Some of the immediate benefits you can expect from utilizing a tankless hot water heater are:

Lower energy bills
Instant hot water
Unlimited hot water
Smaller physical footprint than traditional units
Longer lifespan than traditional units
Less maintenance

Is Tankless Hot Water More Efficient?

A lot of marketing for tankless water heaters boasts the units to be “more efficient” than traditional heaters, but is that true? The answer is, yes!

Tankless water heaters have the obvious advantage of requiring less space due to not needing a tank. They can also save homeowners hundreds of dollars a year in energy savings because only heating water as needed is more efficient overall.

Cons

The largest and most obvious drawback to a tankless hot water heater is the higher initial cost of installation. While a tankless unit might make up for the initial cost in the form of lower utility bills and a longer life span, we understand that this higher upfront cost isn’t a viable expense for every situation. The rest of the negatives associated with tankless hot water heaters aren’t exactly “negatives” as much as they are quirks of how tankless heaters function comparable to a traditional water heater being forced to rely on a limited supply of water.

Aside from the high installation cost, a few of these drawbacks include:

Less efficient at providing hot water to multiple sources
Water can sometimes take longer to initially heat up
Cold water in the line could become sandwiched between two segments of hot water, leading to a random moment of cold water
Hard to achieve lukewarm water

As you can see, there are no real life-altering drawbacks to using a tankless hot water heater. In most average residential situations, a tankless hot water heater can provide a household with an unlimited supply of hot water while saving homeowners physical space and money.
