Should I Switch To A Tankless Water Heater?

Switching to a tankless water heater offers several advantages, but it's not the right choice for every home. Consider these factors when making your decision:

Advantages of tankless water heaters:

• Endless hot water supply (no more cold showers)
• Energy savings of 24-34% for homes using less than 41 gallons daily
• Longer lifespan (20+ years vs. 10-15 for traditional tanks)
• Space savings (wall-mounted units free up floor space)
• Reduced risk of water damage (no large tank to rupture)

Considerations before switching:

• Higher upfront cost for equipment and installation
• May require electrical system upgrades or expanded gas lines
• Multiple units may be needed for larger homes with simultaneous hot water demands
• Annual maintenance required to prevent mineral buildup
