3 Benefits of Eliminating the Water Heater Tank

For most homeowners, a water heater is a tall, cylindrical appliance that is full of the hot water they need for showering, washing the dishes, doing the laundry, etc. If that is the end of the line when it comes to your awareness of available water heater systems, you’ve got some homework to do. Specifically, we’re giving you the following assignment—just read the rest of this post. (We didn’t say it was going to be a difficult assignment).

If you are building a new home and need a brand new water heater, or if you’re starting to think about replacing your existing water heater, you definitely want to be thinking about the benefits that a tankless water heater in Tucson has to offer.

Is the tankless water heater right for everyone? No, of course not. If it were, it would be the only option out there. However, a tank model isn’t right for everyone either, and you may find that it’s actually not ideal for you!

First of All, You’re Going to Free Up Some Space

Oh come on, how much space are we really talking about here? Look, we’re not saying that you’re going to be able to fit a king-size bed in some poorly utilized space just because you opted for a tank water heater. However, you can definitely free up some storage space for general storage when you opt for a tankless water heater. That can mean a lot to homeowners who don’t have much space for that type of usage.

Tankless water heaters, as we’re sure you’ve guessed, don’t use a tank to store hot water. They heat water on demand, meaning that the unit itself is much smaller. In fact, these devices can simply be installed on the wall of a utility closet. Maybe not the main benefit of the system, but a noteworthy one nonetheless!

You’re Also Going to Save Some Money

Modern water heater tanks are more efficient than ever. The application of additional insulating materials can really cut back on any standby energy loss that your system suffers (meaning that heat transfers through the tank and into the air surrounding it). However,  as long as there is a tank, there is standby energy loss. It’s just physics.  Heat moves to cooler areas.

When you eliminate the tank entirely, however, you eliminate the risk of any standby energy loss. This makes the tankless water heater an incredibly efficient appliance that can save you money in the long run. And we say “long run” deliberately.

They Last Longer!

A lot longer. A tankless water heater can give you somewhere in the 20–25 years of service range. That’s pretty incredible, especially when you compare that to the 6 or so years you can expect from a tank water heater. Yes, tankless water heaters are more expensive than tank models, but again—think about the long term, and the savings will really add up.

As part of an annual maintenance contract a technician was dispatched to service the furnace. The veracity of the alleged service problems is indeterminant, but what ensued was a scare tactic laced, relentless pressure induced attempt to make a spot decision to replace the entire furnace. Nobody is so naive to think these are not upsell opportunities for the vendor, but this technician far exceeded the realm of reasonable and did not relent when asked. It is difficult to know the sincerity of any true service problems and give Goettl any credit for honesty. We are largely disappointed and disillusioned with Goettl. Service contract renewal in doubt.

Roger came out on Thanksgiving Day to fix our unit. Turns out, our home builder completely shorted us on the amount of blown-in attic insulation (which you think a home inspector would have caught) and also our unit is too small for our house which is 4 years old. Roger took the time to explain all of this to us in detail and got our unit up and running. Thank you Roger!

Darean serviced our drain line blockage. His professionalism and knowledge for being so young was incredible. This has been one of our best experiences working with a plumber. He was methodical, clean, (like really clean!), and very determined to go above and beyond. I don't leave reviews often but this experience was worthy of a 5 star review. Highly recommend Darean.
