Linn Benton Plumbing takes pride in providing prompt and reliable water heater repair in Albany, OR. Apart from that, local area clients rely on our team when choosing a water heater that best fits their needs without having to exceed their budget. In many instances, we recommend tankless water heaters.
A gas-powered tankless water heater tends to take up much less space than conventional units. It is also known to heat water directly. Once you turn on the hot water, the cold water travels through a pipe and into the system. Next, it is heated by a gas burner. This allows you a constant supply of hot water. Also called “on-demand” units or instant hot water heater, they are becoming the popular choice for many households today.
Here are some of the benefits you can experience when you consider a tankless unit the next time you schedule a water heater installation from our team:
ENOUGH FOR THE ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD
Larger households in the local area tend to use a lot of hot water. With a conventional tank type water heater, once the tank runs out of hot water, there is not any hot water until the tank reheats. With a tankless hot water heater, the water heater only is heating water as you are using it and will run all day long at the rated flow rate. This means you have an endless supply of hot water! No more cold showers after all the hot water is gone.
MORE GALLONS OF WATER HEATED, NOT WASTED
A gas-powered unit can provide up to 5 gallons of hot water per minute. According to energy.gov, a gas-fired tankless water heater can have a higher flow rate than many electric models. Perhaps its biggest advantage is that they eliminate the extra cost of keeping more gallons of water hot in a storage tank, so you waste less energy. Tankless water heaters only heat water as you are using hot water, so they are a lot more energy efficient.
GREATER SAVINGS
Tankless water heaters use about 50 percent less energy than tank units. This means more savings. After all, these units heat water only when you turn on the faucet. Moreover, while they offer a continuous supply of hot water, they are more compact than a standard unit. We can easily mount them on a wall when you have us for a water heater replacement.
