LET’S TALK
Should I go Tankless?
Tankless water heating may seem like a thing of the future but there are a lot of points to consider when choosing this type of water heater.
1) More Cost Effective Once Installed
Tankless heaters are cheaper to run but can typically cost two to four the price of a standard water heater, depending on how the basement is and if it is developed.
2) Not Endless Hot Water
Standard tankless water heaters contrary to belief are not exactly “endless hot water” they Flash boiler the water as it passes through the unit when heat is called for from a faucet. That being said a unit hot water capacity is restricted to produce only the amount of water that it can pass through the unit, a typical tankless water heater can produce 3-5 gallons a minute, prospectively a shower will run at 1.3-2.5 gallons a minute of hot water so you could run two showers at the same time if they both were only set on hot, or you could run two medium temperature showers and a dishwasher etc.
2) Expensive to Maintain
Tankless water heaters are require a lot of maintenance. Contrary to belief that they are maintenance free, Tankless water heaters require regular bi-yearly cleaningthat typically comes with a price tag of $600. Without this cleaning the boiler will bog up with sediment, it will become less efficient and eventually the boiler will cease operation.
