Each day is a busy one for the average household. From deciding when to eat dinner to washing laundry, there are many things to think about. Everyone should not worry about having enough hot water to wash dishes, bathe the children, or take a hot shower. Many homeowners have decided to go tankless for this reason and many others.
Rinnai tankless water heatersHot water is available on demand, giving homeowners flexibility. Water is heated only when it’s needed. This ensures that hot showers can be taken, as well as baths, laundry, and dishwashing, regardless of whether they happen simultaneously. It can take up to 33 min to heat a tank-style water heater if the stored water is exhausted.
“Today’s homeowners are realizing they don’t have to schedule their lives around their hot water anymore, and many also want to make wise long-term home improvement investments with significant return. The decision to go tankless simply makes sense,” explains Kerri Walker, senior marketing manager at Rinnai.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy website, tankless water heaters can be 24 to 34 percent more efficient than a traditional tank-style water heater, depending on a home’s daily hot-water demand. Tankless units such as the Rinnai model can help homeowners save up to 40% on their energy bills. This is because they don’t have to heat or re-heat as a traditional water tank.
“No one leaves their car on all the time, as — among other things — it would waste too much gas. Tankless technology is of a similar mindset. You’re using energy only when you need hot water,”Walker agrees.
