Tankless Water Heater Reviews

Water Heaters are one of the most important, yet least considered part of every house. Most people spend more time on their dishwashers and washing machines than they do on their water heaters when in terms of importance the water heater is more important. If your washing machine conks off you can always use a laundromat while you look for another. What happens if your water heater goes kaput.

The traditional way to heat water was with large storage tanks called storage water heaters. These drums could be anywhere between 40 and 75 or more gallons in size and a heating element inside the drum would keep it hot throughout the day. The only problem is that this water is not used the whole day while the water is kept hot all the time. This results in a lot of wasted power because however well insulated your tank is there is always some way in which the temperature inside will go down. Considering that heating water accounts for more than a quarter of your power bills, this is a large amount.

The newer way is to use tankless water heaters which do not have a storage tank and therefore only heats whatever water that is demanded. This means that if you are going to shower in the morning and then leave your home, the water does not need to be heated till the next time when you need it. This results in quite a bit of savings and depending on whether you are going in for an electricity powered tankless heater or a gas powered one, you can get anywhere between 30 and 50% savings in your power bills.
