Tankless Water Heaters - is it the right choice for your home?
You may be surprised to know that tankless water heaters have been around for nearly 30 years, especially popular in Asia and Europe.
Also known as “instantaneous”, “flash”, or “on demand”, this unique and efficient method of heating domestic hot water is rapidly gaining popularity, and is becoming a spec appliance in many homes.
In parts of the world where natural gas and propane fuel is a precious (and expensive) resource, tankless heaters are a natural choice.
The Canadian consumer is embracing this “new” technology and are pleasantly surprised at the benefits these appliances offer.
Tankless heaters will remain “off” or in a dormant state until a hot water tap is opened, which “wakes up” the heater, triggering the gas burners to heat the water as it flows through to the tap outlet, converting cold inlet water to hot water in seconds.
Energy savings are significant, using up to 97% of the heat energy for hot water. Compare this to a tank-style water heater, at 51% or less.
Convenience, reliability, and energy efficiency are 3 great reasons to consider a tankless water heater.
Installed, it usually takes a day or less, and easily adapts to your existing water and gas piping system.
Maintenance is also easily performed, whereas not as easy with a tank-style system.
If it is time to retire your old, tired water tank, consider tankless for your home. The Navien brand is an excellent choice, with great warranties and has proven to me, as a contractor, that they back their product and have a very reliable track record.
