Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters

Upgrading your water heater to a tankless system means enjoying numerous benefits over a traditional water heater.  These benefits include:

Endless Hot Water: A tankless system means an endless supply of hot water. Unless you’re running multiple hot water sources at the same time, which will require a larger unit, you’ll never have to cut your showers short or postpone doing the dishes. 

While tankless water heaters do need a high flow rate to work properly, a booster pump can increase the flow rate if your system has lower water pressure. Goettl’s certified technicians will let you know if this is the case and are happy to install one, as well as suggest the best tankless system for your home’s unique conditions.

Smaller Footprint: Save valuable space inside or outside your home with a tankless water heater. Instead of a massive tank that holds 40-50 gallons of water, a tankless system takes up about as much space as your carry-on luggage. This can mean reclaiming some valuable space in your home. 

Energy Efficiency: Tankless water heaters supply hot water only when needed. That means that instead of expending costly energy keeping dozens of gallons hot like in a traditional water heater, a tankless system eliminates all standby heat loss by only heating the water you use at the moment.

This on-demand style of water heating saves on energy use, and on your monthly energy bills. On average, a tankless system saves you 30% on your household energy use. Sometimes more.

Increased Lifespan: Tankless water heaters can last up to twice as long as traditional water heaters before needing to be replaced. Traditional water heaters with tanks usually last about 6 to 10 years depending on water quality factors such as dissolved mineral content (aka “hard water.”) Also, their energy-efficiency tends to fade away in those later years.  

A tankless system, on the other hand, should last you 20 years or more with proper maintenance and upkeep. That’s over twice the longevity of a traditional water heater! Granted, a tankless system does carry a higher upfront cost, and you’ll need to perform maintenance on it every year to descale any mineral build up. But with its longer lifespan and lower energy costs, this can offset the higher purchase price. 

Improved Water Quality: Tankless systems don’t store water over time. That means there’s no risk of sediment or bacteria build-up in your hot water supply that can come out from the tap as discolored or rusty, discolored water in your sink, shower, or washing machine.  

Lower Risk of Leaking and Water Damage: Because a tankless system only heats water on demand, there’s less risk of leaks and water damage than from a traditional water heater. As water sits in the tank, mineral and sediments collecting at the bottom can corrode the metal and seals. And if your tank does rupture, that means up to fifty gallons of water flooding throughout your home. Because a tankless system only heats the water you use rather than storing it, there’s less risk of corrosion. Even though a tankless system may leak without proper maintenance, the resulting water damage will be limited.
