It seems like everyone is concerned with the best thing to do especially when it comes to saving energy and money. When we speak to homeowners about remodeling, the subject of water heaters almost always comes up.
Everyone has heard something about tankless water heaters and has questions about them. As a NARI designated Green Certified Professional, and a BPI certified Home Energy Analyst, I have found that tankless water heaters are one of the most cost effective way to improve my clients homes, save them money and reduce their energy consumption.
Overall, our experience has been positive regarding the benefits and lack of downside.
Personally, I have two neighbors who have had floods as a result of a standard water heater tank giving out inside their home. Both had the entire interior severely damaged. One lost an entire houseful of wood flooring, the other lost all her flooring, plus the insurance company emergency crew cut the bottom two feet of plaster walls out to promote drying inside the walls.
These disasters gave my wife, Sally and I the motivation to get serious about investigating tankless water heaters before we had the same problems.
In the years that have followed, we have personally enjoyed the benefits and have had numerous clients install both electric and gas versions of tankless water heaters.
The water heaters come in both inside and outside versions. We encourage homeowners to go with the exterior versions if possible. It will free up interior storage space and remove the possibility of any mechanical or water issues from your home's interior.
We have found that there are numerous quality brands available. Our advice is to go with gas whenever possible, and be sure to choose one that will produce 5 to 8 gallons per minute in order to have enough for more than one usage at a time.
If you are tired of running out of hot water and have interest in a heater that will save enough to eventually pay for itself you need to look into switching to a tankless water heater.
