Tankless Water Heaters: They’re All About Saving Space and Having the Luxury of Unlimited Hot Water.
When it comes to tankless water heaters, you can’t beat them for unlimited delivery in a space-saving system. When a tankless system is sized correctly and is given proper care, they last a very long time with minimal issues. They have efficiency ratings over 90% with warranties up to 12 years. Space saving and unlimited hot water is what tankless heaters are all about! But there are a few things you must take into consideration:
- The cost of installation can be high—especially if they are being retrofitted from a standard chimney-vented heater. It will require new vent lines, water lines and larger gas lines.
- Maintenance—a tankless system requires maintenance over the years to maintain optimum performance. Units can fail prematurely due to water quality, and they’re not always a good match with well water. We use a water quality table to see if your water qualifies.
- The “sandwich effect”—cold water can sometimes get caught between the unit running and shutting off. When the water is turned on, then turned off for a moment, the unit must restart itself, resulting in a 5-second delay. Cold water will pass through the unit unheated causing what we call “the sandwich effect.”
Is this a big deal to live with? We don’t think so. A couple of tankless hybrid companies are working right now to solve this annoyance, but their method involves using a small storage tank to offset the sandwich effect—which defeats the whole purpose of the tankless heater, now your storing hot water.
Water Heater Medic services and installs any brand of tankless heaters, but the availability of manufacturer’s parts and tech support can vary. We recommend A.O. Smith, which now owns Takagi Tankless Water Heater Company. We like their combined technology and tech support. Visit tankless water heaters and see the difference.
