Water heaters are necessary to enjoy a modern life. We call plumbing services to ensure we always have hot water and can't dream of living without it. However, many homeowners are choosing to upgrade to tankless water heaters now. Here are a few of the most popular reasons why.

1. Endless Hot Water

Prominent families know the horrible feeling of running out of hot water when everyone is showering. No one wants to be forced to take a cold shower because they're out of hot water. Tankless water heaters instantly solve this problem. They heat water as it passes through instead of storing it in a tank, ensuring you always have hot water on demand.

2. Energy Efficiency

Tank-style water heaters use extremely high energy because they continuously heat the water in the tank, even when you aren't using it. The tank fills up with water, which is heated. Then, when the water cools down, the water heater turns back on to heat it again, even if you have touched a faucet. According to the Farnsworth Group, about 31% of homeowners in 2021 implied they wanted to utilize tankless water heaters to make their houses more energy efficient.

3. Fewer Problems

When you opt for a tankless water heater, you'll notice that you don't need as many plumbing services. That's because tank water heaters come with their own set of problems. They are more prone to corrosion because they hold water all the time. This can get into your water or other pipes, resulting in costly repairs and poor water quality. Many of these water heaters are outdated, so you'll run out of hot water when the pilot light goes out. The tanks are also prone to leaks.

4. Financial Benefits

Saving money thanks to your home being more energy efficient is one of the many financial benefits of tankless water heaters. You'll save money because you don't need plumbing services as often. Most states and the federal government often tax incentives like credits or rebates for environmentally friendly upgrades. The longer lifespan is another way you'll save more money.

The modern appeal of the space-saving design of tankless water heaters is just one of the things people love about them. They can save you money for years to come. Contact us today at The Witmer Company to learn more!
