Tankless Water Heaters
Ottawa
What is a tankless water heater? Is it worth the upgrade?
Tankless water heaters offer several advantages over traditional tank models. They heat up the water only when you demand it, meaning you don't run out and there's no need for a large storage tank. This can lead to energy savings since they only heat water as needed rather than maintaining a constant temperature in a tank. Additionally, tankless units are typically more compact, freeing up space in your home. Their longer lifespan, higher efficiency and lower risk of leaks can also contribute to cost savings over time.

Why upgrade to a Tankless?
Unlimited Hot Water
Tankless water heaters provide a continuous supply of hot water. Unlike traditional water heaters that store a limited amount of hot water, tankless models heat water on demand. This means you can enjoy long showers or run multiple appliances simultaneously without worrying about running out of hot water.
Longer Lifespan
Tankless water heaters generally have a longer lifespan compared to traditional tank models, lasting up to 20 years or more with proper maintenance. This durability can lead to lower replacement costs over time and less hassle in frequent replacements.
Energy Efficiency
Tankless water heaters are more energy-efficient than conventional tank models. They only heat water when it’s needed, which reduces energy consumption and can lead to lower utility bills. Many tankless systems have an energy factor (EF) rating of up to 0.95, meaning they convert nearly all the energy they consume into hot water.
Reduced Risk of Leaks and Water Damage
Since tankless water heaters do not store large amounts of water, they significantly reduce the risk of leaks and water damage associated with tank failures. This feature can save homeowners from costly repairs and the headache of dealing with water damage.
Space Saving
These systems are compact and can be mounted on walls, freeing up floor space that would typically be occupied by a bulky tank. This makes them an excellent option for smaller homes or apartments where every square foot counts.
Environmental Benefits
By consuming less energy and having a longer lifespan, tankless water heaters are often considered more environmentally friendly. Lower energy use contributes to reduced greenhouse gas emissions, making them a more sustainable choice for heating your water.
