How Do Tankless Water Heaters Work?
Unlike traditional tank-based water heaters, tankless systems heat water on demand. When you turn on a hot water faucet or appliance, cold water flows through the unit and is instantly heated by either a gas burner or an electric element. This means you’ll never run out of hot water, and you won’t waste energy keeping a large tank heated when you’re not using it.
Tankless water heaters are compact and wall-mounted, saving valuable floor space in your home. They also have a longer lifespan than tank-based systems, with many lasting up to 20 years or more with proper maintenance.
The Benefits of a Tankless Water Heater in Calgary, AB and surrounding areas
In addition to endless hot water and space savings, there are several other benefits to installing a tankless water heater in your Calgary, Chestermere, Mckenzie Lake, Signal Hill, Edgemont, Evergreen, Panorama Hills, Lakeview, Okotoks, Elbow Valley, and Bearspaw, AB home:
- Energy efficiency: Because tankless systems only heat water as needed, they can be up to 34% more energy efficient than traditional tank heaters. This translates to lower utility bills and a reduced carbon footprint.
- Precise temperature control: With a tankless system, you can set the exact temperature you want your hot water to be. No more fiddling with the faucet to find the perfect balance between scalding and lukewarm.
- Cleaner water: Tankless heaters don’t store water, so there’s no risk of sediment buildup or corrosion that can affect water quality. You’ll enjoy fresh, clean hot water every time you turn on the tap.
Choosing the Right Tankless System for Your Home
When it comes to selecting a tankless water heater, there are a few key factors to consider:
- Fuel type: Tankless heaters can be powered by either natural gas or electricity. Gas units tend to be more powerful and cost-effective, but electric models may be a better choice if you don’t have access to natural gas.
- Size: The size of your tankless heater will depend on your household’s hot water needs. A professional plumber can help you calculate your flow rate and recommend the appropriate unit size.
- Brand and model: At ClearView Services, we recommend and install top-quality brands like Navien, Rinnai, and Rheem. These manufacturers offer a range of models with different features and efficiency ratings to suit your needs.
