Advantages of a Tankless Water Heater

While tankless water heaters have been around for a while, many people are just now realizing how amazing these units are. If you’ve never considered one, here are a few advantages to think about.

  • A tankless water heater is more energy-efficient than a gas or electric tank water heater and saves you money each month on your energy bills.
  • Tankless water heaters provide instant hot water — no waiting for the water to heat.
  • Tankless water heaters never run out of hot water as a tank system does.
  • Tankless water heaters are small and take up minimal space inside your house.

How to Maintain a Tankless Water Heater

Just like a tank water heater system, a tankless water heater can accumulate calcium and other mineral buildups through regular usage which can cause the system to fail. To keep your unit running efficiently, it’s essential you flush out these mineral deposits at least once per year depending on the quality of the water coming in. Also, it’s essential you schedule an annual checkup with a tankless water heater repair service to ensure your unit is operating optimally and to make any minor repairs needed to keep it in service for many years to come.

How Long Do Tankless Water Heaters Last?

Typically, tankless water heaters can last for around 15 to 20 years or more with proper care and maintenance. Tankless water heaters, known for their energy efficiency and compact design, have a relatively long lifespan compared to traditional tank water heaters. These innovative devices can provide hot water on demand, making them an attractive option for many homeowners. If you're considering investing in a tankless water heater, it's essential to understand their average lifespan and the factors that can influence it.  

Here are some key reasons why tankless water heaters tend to have a long operational life:

  • Efficient design: Tankless water heaters don't store hot water constantly, reducing wear and tear on the unit and potentially extending its lifespan.
  • Quality materials: Many reputable manufacturers use high-quality materials, contributing to the durability and longevity of the tankless water heater.
  • Reduced risk of leaks: As tankless water heaters lack a large water reservoir, there is a lower risk of leaks and corrosion over time.
  • Scalable maintenance: Regular maintenance, such as descaling, can help prevent mineral buildup, ensuring the heater continues to function optimally.
  • Advanced technology: Tankless water heaters often incorporate advanced technology, leading to better performance and reliability.

By investing in a reputable tankless water heater, performing routine maintenance, and considering factors like water quality and usage patterns, homeowners can expect their unit to provide hot water efficiently for many years to come.

  • Can I repipe my home myself?
    While it is possible to repipe a home yourself, it is not recommended, as it can be a difficult and dangerous process. Repiping a home requires working with water and pipes, which can easily lead to accidents if not done correctly. It is best to leave this job to the professionals.
  • What should I do if my water pressure is low?
    If your water pressure is low, you may need to call a plumber to have your water pressure checked. Low water pressure can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a clogged water filter or a leaky faucet. It's important to address low water pressure as soon as possible, as it can lead to water waste and increased energy costs.
  • How often should I clean my drains?
    It is recommended that you clean your drains every six months. However, if water is backing up into the tub, sink, or toilet in your home when you flush it, then you need to call a plumber right away to clean the drain. If water backs up into your sink then it's probably coming from your shower and vice versa. Cleaning out the lines will prevent water from backing up into your home.
  • What is the best way to clear a clogged grease drain?

    There are a few effective ways to clear a grease-clogged drain.

    • Use boiling water and dish soap to break up grease buildup.
    • Pour water mixed with baking soda into the drain, then pour vinegar on top of it to get a chemical reaction that breaks down grease.
    • Drain cleaners can also remove water buildup and hard water scale.
    • Plumbers recommend using a water-powered mechanical drain cleaner to clear clogs altogether. These machines are easy to use and clear away any type of clog quickly.

    For a badly clogged drain, you may need to hire a professional plumber that can clear out the drain with special equipment.

  • What are the different water heater sizes?

    Water heaters come in a variety of sizes, and the size you need depends on how much water your household uses. Here are some general water heater size guidelines:

    • If you use less than 40 gallons of water per day, a 40- or 50-gallon water heater will be large enough.
    • If you use between 40 and 80 gallons of water per day, a water heater with a capacity of 60 or 80 gallons will probably be required.
    • If you use over 80 gallons of water per day, an 85-gallon water heater should provide an adequate supply.

    Note that these are general guidelines only; how much water your household actually uses may vary. To be sure you have the right water heater size, consult with a plumbing professional.

How do Tankless Water Heaters Work?

Unlike a standard tank water heater that stores water in a tank and heats it via gas or electric, the tankless water heater instantly heats the water as it comes in making for a more efficient use of energy. With standard water heaters, energy is used to keep the water hot even when not in use, which increases your energy usage. Like tank water heaters, tankless systems can use either gas or electricity as a fuel source to heat the water. If you want to know more, call us and let us show you how a tankless system can benefit you.

A tankless water heater can make everyone in your family happy. Call Service Plumbing in Ocala, FL area at (352) 525-2255 to find out more about our plumbing services!
