Benefits of Upgrading to a Tankless Water Heater
Whether you’re looking to upgrade from a traditional water heater to a tankless, one or your current tankless water heater has outlived its usefulness, an upgrade in your Twin Falls or Jerome, ID home may be the right decision for you.
Some of the various benefits that you can experience with a brand-new tankless water heater installation include:
- Endless Hot Water: Unlike a traditional water heater, there is no giant storage tank that water just sits in waiting to be used, or not used. Tankless units heat water only when you need it, meaning you never have to wait for your water heater to refill itself before enjoying a nice hot shower.
- Efficiency: The newer the water heater, the more efficient it will be. As new models are being invented, energy efficiency is increasingly becoming a primary focus and desired feature for homeowners and business owners alike.
- Longer Lifespan: While traditional water heaters have a life expectancy of around 8 to 10 years, tankless water heaters can last up to twice as long meaning you can relax before having to worry about upgrading again.
- No Leaks: Because tankless water heaters don’t have a storage tank, there is no risk of leaks that you have to consider when it comes to a traditional water heater unit.
If you don’t want to switch to a tankless unit, don’t worry! Magic Electric, Plumbing, Heating + Air provides traditional water heater installation services as well.
The Importance of Annual Maintenance
Anything with moving parts is going to require maintenance sooner or later. Though tankless water heaters are often considered quite hardy, the manufacturer recommends homeowners bringing in experts to perform maintenance on a yearly basis. This allows us to catch any incipient problems, keep the system clean, and ensure that it is running as efficiently as possible. When you take these simple steps, you can ensure that your tankless water heater functions for as long as possible.
