That\u2019s because they don\u2019t use energy to heat water 24\/7. They only heat it as it&#8217;s needed which is why they\u2019re also called \u201con demand\u201d water heaters. It\u2019s been estimated that tank water heaters are 24-34% more energy efficient than tank models.<\/li><li><strong>Save money:<\/strong> Not using energy to heat water 24\/7 automatically results in spending less money on utility bills every month. In fact, the Department of Energy estimates that gas-powered tankless water heaters can save $100 per year.<\/li><li><strong>Longevity<\/strong>: It\u2019s a fact that tankless water heaters last longer. That\u2019s because they\u2019re not subject to the wear and tear that comes from storing water and using energy 24\/7.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Unlimited hot water:<\/strong> There\u2019s nothing worse than running out of hot water during a shower! Eliminate the morning arguments about who gets to shower first and restore harmony to your household\u2019s morning routine with unlimited hot water.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Compact size: <\/strong>Is your home or garage tight on space? Tankless water heaters can be wall-mounted and take up a lot less space than a tank water heater.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tankless Water Heater Cons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Cost of a tankless system and installation:<\/strong> A tankless water heater is a more complicated piece of machinery than its tank counterpart. Therefore, the initial cost to purchase will be higher. Because installation is a bit trickier, they\u2019re also more expensive to install.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>The wait for hot water:<\/strong> When you turn on the hot water tap, there will be a slight delay of 10-15 seconds before the tap dispenses hot water.<\/li><li><strong>Plumbing modifications:<\/strong> Tankless models may need to be modified to fit your existing plumbing, especially if this\u2019ll be your first tankless water heater. That can lead to a more time-consuming and costlier installation.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider This Caveat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some specific situations where a tankless water heater might not be able to keep up with demands. For example, if you have a lot of demands for hot water at the same time of day. However, there are workarounds for situations like this that we\u2019re happy to discuss with you.&nbsp; If you\u2019re still not sure what type of water heater is right for your home and family, contact us for help making this decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>To schedule your water heater installation, <\/strong><a href=\"\/contact\/send-a-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>contact Premier HVAC Services today!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you need water heater installation in Fayetteville, PA and aren&#8217;t sure if a tankless version is right for you?
