If your hot water tank is over ten years old and running out of hot water more often than it used to, you may want to consider the advantages of installing a new electric or gas-fired tankless water heater in its place.
First of all, tankless water heaters are space savers. Often the size of a suitcase, these quiet, compact units are usually designed to hang on a wall, freeing up the area where the traditional 40-gallon holding tank once occupied space next to your Mississauga furnaces.
Secondly, tankless units can produce an unlimited supply of hot water. Once the faucet is turned on, a sensor operated heat exchanger heats water flowing through heating coils to the desired temperature based on the flow rate demanded, shutting down automatically when the faucet is turned off.
Energy savings are another major benefit to homeowners. In order to maintain water temperature, a standard tank heats water periodically accounting for up to twenty percent of your water heating costs, while a tankless unit operates on a need to use basis. In fact, it is estimated an ENERGY STAR qualified tankless water heater can reduce your home’s water heating expenses by thirty percent.
Start reaping all the benefits of a tankless water heater in your home by ensuring it is properly installed to meet all applicable codes by our qualified, licensed heating & air conditioning Mississauga company. With regular maintenance and no risk of rust or corrosion, tankless units are estimated to last twice as long as a normal hot water tank.
