Instant access to hot water is essential to a comfortable life. Without it, showers are shorter, cleaning is harder and laundry becomes much more of a chore.
For the team here at Garvin’s Plumbing and Sewer, the comfort of our customers is important. That’s why we do our best to provide you with a comprehensive range of water heating options.
For homeowners looking for an alternative to the standard water heater tank found in so many closets and garages, tankless water heaters are an energy-efficient option that comes with several benefits over traditional heaters.
Tankless water heaters heat water by passing it through a heat exchanger that’s typically heated via a series of gas burners.
When you turn on the tap to wash your hands or the faucet to take a shower, the tankless water heater turns on. As water moves through the unit, it warms.
The warm water then travels to your faucet until you turn it off.
These systems can provide nearly instantaneous unlimited hot water because they heat water as needed rather than depending on a limited pre-heated reservoir. The risk of running out of hot water is nearly zero as well, since there is no linmited tank of hot water to drain. The system simply heats as much water as you need.
Tankless water heaters could be considered the natural upgrade path from standard tanked units. Below are some of the main features that make going tankless a desirable option.
Tankless heaters have been rated to save an average of 8-14 percent in utility bills when used in homes that use a large amount of hot water.
Because tankless units heat water as needed rather than relying on a pre-filled reservoir, they can provide homeowners with an unlimited amount of hot water.
Tankless heaters take up far less physical space than their tanked counterparts. What once took an entire closet can now be neatly confined against a wall.
When maintained properly, a tankless water heater can last up to 20 years compared to the 8-12 years you can expect from a traditional tanked heater.
Eliminating the hot water tank removes the risk of that tank being damaged. Protect your property from the potential of gallons of water flooding your space.
Tanked water heaters rely on an anode rod to prevent internal corrosion inside the tank — but they aren’t foolproof. Removing the tank removes the possibility of sediment or corrosion byproducts from the tank ending up in your water.
Tankless water heaters offer precise temperature control, allowing you to easily adjust and customize the desired output temperature.
Tankless water heaters not only help you save on utilities but also contribute to environmental conservation, making them an eco-friendly choice.
While both tanked and tankless heaters utilize gas, tanked units typically utilize a more prolonged combustion source, whereas tankless heaters only utilize combustion when hot water is needed.
