The Energy-Efficient Features of a Tankless Water Heater

Since tankless water heaters do not have a storage tank and provide hot water only when required, they help save space and energy in a household. Bullseye Plumbing Heating & Air, a leading provider of water heater repair in Colorado Springs, CO, shares the energy-efficient features of a tankless water heater.

On-Demand Heating

The water that’s stored in storage tanks usually cools leading to standby heat loss. This means that you have to periodically heat the water even when it’s not in use. This causes a lot of energy wastage and high energy bills. On the other hand, a tankless heater only heats water when required, thus eliminating standby heat loss associated with storage tanks. Tankless heaters can either be gas-fired or electric. Gas-fired water heaters have higher flow rates than electric ones. Consider a tankless water heater installation when you want to enjoy these energy-efficient perks.

Energy Efficiency per Gallon

Tankless heaters can be 24% to 34% more energy-efficient than storage tanks for households that consume less than 41 gallons of hot water daily. For homes that use around 86 gallons of hot water per day, a tankless water heater can be 8% to 14% more energy efficient. Installing an on-demand water heater at each hot water outlet can increase your household’s energy savings by 27% to 50%. Regardless of your water usage, water heater maintenance by a trusted plumber is a must.

Energy Star

Energy Star-Certified tankless water heaters can increase the energy-saving in a home. According to Energy Star estimates, installing a tankless heater can help you save at least $100 annually or $1800 over the water heater’s service life. If you wish to have a water heater replacement to a certified tankless Energy Star® model, you need to do it before your current heater fails. This will give you enough time to evaluate the costs and complete the replacement.
