Is a Tankless Hot Water Heater Right for Me?
There are quite a few advantages to tankless hot water heaters. They can help save you money because they do not keep a tank of water hot in reserve until you need it. However, they are also typically more expensive to install than more traditional tank hot water heaters.
Whether or not a tankless hot water heater will be right for you and your family will depend on the specific situation and the details of your home. Our experts here at Bob’s Heating & Air Conditioning can help you evaluate your hot water heater options and make it easier to come to an informed decision about what type of water heater to purchase. We have been supplying our Greater Seattle, WA and Tacoma Metropolitan area customers with hot water heaters for more than 50 years.
When it is Cold Outside, Will My Outdoor Tankless Hot Water Heater Still Work?
Tankless hot water heaters that are located outdoors will still be able to provide hot water reliably to you and your family even when temperatures descend below zero. In fact, most of these types of hot water heaters are made to function properly in temperatures down to -30°F.
When Should I Replace My Hot Water Heater?
There are a number of reasons you may want to consider replacing your hot water heater. If you are calling for frequent repairs, that is a good sign that you may be better off investing in a replacement rather than continuing to pay for repairs.
Also, if you have noticed that your hot water heater just is not getting the water as hot as it used to or your water is taking too long to heat up, it may be time to start looking around for a new one. These are not the only times when you will want to consider replacing your hot water heater, though.
In fact, even if you have a hot water heater that has been working well for you, you may benefit from replacing it if it is more than 10 years old. That is because the newer models are simply so much more energy efficient than the older one you probably have in your house right now.
Whether you opt for a tankless or tank variety, your new hot water heater will immediately save you a considerable amount on your monthly energy bill.
How Long Will My Hot Water Heater Last?
Provided you keep up with all of the proper maintenance, you can expect your new hot water heater to last you at least 10-15 years.
