Tank water heaters are the most popular water heater type in the country. Their effective, simple method for heating a home’s water supply has made them a favorite among millions of homeowners over the decades. However, the advent of new technology has given us other options when it comes to home water heating. One of those new technologies is the tankless water heater.
Tankless water heaters are just what they sound like, heaters without any sort of storage tank. Instead, water flows through a heat exchanger on the way to its destination, similar to a boiler system. The water is quickly heated to the proper temperature before it leaves the system, and when hot water is no longer needed the entire water heater shuts down. Read on to find out more about the benefits of tankless water heaters, and the services we can provide. If you have any questions, call Green Planet Solutions Corp today.

The Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters
So, why should you choose a tankless water heater over a typical storage water heater? Well, one is not always preferable to the other. You should always consult with a professional before choosing either one. That being said, tankless water heaters do offer two advantages that tank water heaters do not have: space and energy efficiency.
The vast majority of a storage tank water heater is taken up by the tank itself, which makes sense. The tank is what allows the water heater to actually do what it is designed to do: heat water. However, most water heater storage tanks are also quite large. If you install a storage tank water heater, you’re going to have to commit a sizeable amount of space for it. Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, take up very little space. They are often installed on the wall, leaving more floor space free. If you have very little space available for a large storage tank, a tankless water heater might be a good idea.
Storage tank water heaters are efficient in many ways, but not in others. If you use a gas–powered water heater, you’re paying to keep a pilot light lit at all times throughout the year, just in case the burner assembly needs to be turned on. Keeping all of that water continuously heated on the chance you might need it definitely takes a toll in terms of cost. Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, are only activated when the need arises. Once the demand for hot water stops, the tankless water heater shuts itself off. This makes it much more energy efficient.
