Benefits of Installing a Tankless Water Heater This Year

Make 2024 the Year of the Tankless Water Heater 

Every year about this time, people take the time to state some intentions for the year. These can be resolutions about health or habits, but they can also be goals with broader intentions, like simply “improving the home.” 

One of the things that can support this intention or even other resolutions is choosing to upgrade to a tankless water heater. While this may not sound life-changing, the benefits of making the switch can be profound. Here are the three main reasons why resolving to install a new tankless water heater may be the best move a homeowner could make this year. 

Improve Energy Efficiency 

Many homeowners’ New Year’s resolutions or intentions revolve around making better financial decisions. A new tankless water heater is a great move to support this project while also providing investment for the home. The average water tank uses around 20% of the home’s monthly budget for utilities. This means they are expensive to operate because they constantly keep water warm in anticipation of future use. On the other hand, a tankless water heater only heats water when needed. This results in shaving as much as 10% off of monthly water heating bills. 

Save Space and Enjoy Endless Hot Water 

A main feature of tankless water heaters is that they are much smaller than conventional water heaters. Since they have no tank, they can have a smaller footprint and are mounted on walls. This can open up spaces in closets and lighten the loads of floors that support hundreds of pounds of hot water.  

Perhaps the most exciting feature of tankless water heaters is that they provide an endless hot water supply. Gone are the days of arranging the evening or running the dishwasher around the shower schedule. While the conventional water tank would waste energy keeping water warm only to fail to provide enough hot water, a new tankless water heater can supply hot water to multiple sources for as long as required. 

Take Advantage of Longer Life Expectancies 

In addition to reducing energy bills, tankless water heaters make good financial sense for this year and every year for decades. A conventional water heater has a lifespan as low as seven years. Higher-end water heaters may last as long as 15 years with good maintenance, but towards the end of their age ranges, they will start to lose efficiency and need repairs. These factors greatly increase operating costs. 

Tankless water heaters are smaller and spend less time working. This allows them to have life expectancies that dwarf those of conventional water heaters. Most tankless water heaters are expected to last at least 20 years without losing efficiency and with less maintenance.

While tankless water heaters are a little more expensive upfront, they compensate for it in the long run. All the while, they continue to bestow benefits like endless hot water and cheaper bills. Try something new this year with a tankless water heater and enjoy the benefits for decades.
