Best tankless water heater
Have you ever gotten into the shower after you did a load of laundry or after someone else just took a shower, only to find that there wasn’t any hot water available? That won’t happen with a ‘tankless’ water heater.
Tankless water heaters heat the water you use as you use it. There is no wasted energy keeping a tank of water hot during the middle of the night when no one is using it anyway. A tankless water heater does just one thing, piping hot water, just when you need it.
Our favorite tankless water heater (most reliable with the lowest service requirements along with high quality materials and workmanship) is Rinnai, the #1 tankless water heater brand in the U.S. market. Let’s look at what makes the Rinnai tankless hot water heater such a great system for home owners.
- Endless hot water and up to 40% energy savings
With a tankless hot water heater, you can save as much as 15% to 40% or more in your energy costs. If you are currently using a gas hot water heater (with a 40 gallon tank), you can save 15% or more on your energy costs. If you are using an electric hot water heater, your saving could be as high as 40% or more! And, as we said before, with a tankless water heater, there is no such thing as a cold shower – unless that is what you want…
- Flexibility with significant space savings
The tankless water heating systems don’t take up a lot of floor space in your closet or garage. All you need is a gas supply and a way to vent the exhaust.
- A ‘Green’ commercial-grade heat exchanger
The heat exchanger is made of industrial grade materials with efficient technologies that allow more of the energy from the gas to be converted to hot water – rather than hot air. The efficient systems produce fewer green-house gases.
- Digital controls offer precise temperature control for safety and comfort while delivering clean, fresh hot water at a consistent, safe temperature
Some hot water heaters make you guess at the temperature. What is warm to the manufacturer may be much too hot for you or your children. The digital readouts on the Rannai tankless water heaters tell you exactly what temperature the hot water will be when it leaves the heater and goes to your faucet. Accidents with scalding water can be prevented.
- Reduced risk of flooding, compared to traditional tank water heaters
Conventional tank-type water heaters have 30 or more gallons of hot water sitting inside your house just waiting for the tank to fail. With a tankless system, this worry is eliminated.
- Life span of 20 years or more
Tankless water heaters have a longer operating life cycle than most tank-type water heaters. They are dependable and simple to operate and will give you years of safe, reliable performance.
- Industry leading 12-year limited warranty on the heat exchanger
The best residential tank-type water heaters come with warranties that can go as long as 10 years for some parts. Check with us to find out more about warranty packages and options.
