Why Switch To A Tankless Water Heater?
Benefits Of A Tankless Water Heater
If never running out of hot water again sounds good to you, a tankless water heater may be the solution you’ve been looking for. And, since tankless water heaters heat water on-demand, they use significantly less water than their traditional tank counterparts – lowering your energy costs and environmental footprint.
Factor in their compact size and extra-long lifespan, and you may have just found the best investment you’ll make in your home or business this decade.
Keep your cool – your water will always be hot
With a tankless water heater, you can lower your bills while ensuring hot water 24/7. Other benefits?

- Kitchens. Your kitchen appliances are hard at work keeping your family healthy and happy. A tankless water heater system optimizes your dishwasher’s performance and ensures everyone can shower before bed.
- Outdoor kitchens and living areas. Tankless water heaters are compact, making them the perfect choice for any outdoor space. Also, since they heat water on-demand, the water will always be hot – no matter how far it travels in your home.
- Laundry rooms. A difficult question every homeowner faces: run a load of laundry or bathe the kids. Now, you can have it all – with a tankless water heater.

3 Benefits Of A Tankless Water Heater
Endless Hot Water
Even with extra hot water use, you will never run out of hot water. While a tank heater can run out and fail to refill as quickly as water comes out of the tap, a tankless water heater will keep the hot water coming as long as you need it.Optimal Efficiency
Because tankless water heaters only heat up water as it’s used, they save energy in comparison to conventional water heaters. A tankless heater with the ENERGY STAR seal can be about 9% more efficient than its conventional counterpart.Compact Size
No tank means compact design, which can be important in any home. If your home is already equipped with a conventional hot water heater, making the switch to tankless is simple, and the differences will be noticeable almost immediately.Tankless Water Heater FAQs
Tankless water heaters -- also called “on-demand” water heaters -- are a great option for many homeowners. Smaller than traditional units with an unlimited supply of hot water, these systems are ideal for virtually any space, ensuring you and your family always have the hot water you need when you need it.
That said like any water heater, tankless water heaters are important investments that require thorough review and assessments to ensure you’re choosing the right one for your space and your unique needs. Use these frequently asked questions to help you make an informed decision, then contact Choate’s to speak with our team of specialists to review next steps.
Tankless water heaters provide an unlimited supply of hot water — but, even so, it’s important you purchase the right size to meet your household needs. This type of water heater is rated based on the maximum temperature increase possible at a given rate of flow. In other words, figure out of many showers/devices you want to run at once and add their gallons per minute flow rate.
Be sure to choose a tankless water heater that can accommodate the flow rate your home requires. Your water heater won’t be effective if it’s too small, so avoid the temptation to save money by purchasing a smaller unit.
Can tankless water heaters be installed in the same place my old water heater was installed?
In most cases, yes. As long as enough combustion air is available, a heatless water tank can be installed indoors or outdoors and in utility rooms, garages, basements and attics. Since they’re smaller than traditional water heaters, you may also opt to install it where a traditional unit wouldn’t fit.
How much can I expect to save on my monthly bill if I install a tankless water heater?
The amount of money you’ll save depends on a number of factors including usage, your current water heater system and the type of electricity used. In most cases, homeowners can expect to save between 5% and 69% from their current hot water bill.
What are some reasons to use a tankless water heater over a standard storage-type water heater?
Homeowners choose tankless water heaters over storage-style models for three main reasons: energy-efficiency, space, and unlimited access to hot water. Tankless water heaters are much smaller than traditional units and can be installed indoors or outdoors. They heat water on demand so it never runs out, and only heats as much water as is needed, translating to a cost-savings on your utility bill and environmental benefits.
I’m worried the water from a tankless water heater won’t be hot enough. Is this true?
No. Tankless water heaters have temperature-control systems and can be pre-set to deliver a certain water temperature. As long as the unit is big enough for your desired flow rate (one shower vs. three showers running at once, for example), you won’t have a problem. Water heaters are usually set to 120°F. While temperatures can be adjusted over 120 degrees, you should be aware that you will see a decrease in the water flow. This is because it slows the tankless water heater down to heat to your desired temperature.
Tankless water heaters offer countless benefits. First and foremost, these heaters deliver unlimited hot water on demand. With this style of hot water heater, you never have to worry about running out of hot water or taking a cold shower again. Also, they’re small in size and take up less space than traditional water heaters. Since they heat water on demand and don’t have to store it, they use less energy.
Tankless versions also have a longer lifespan, on average, than tank-type models. Many models include warranties spanning 12 to 15 years. You may also qualify for tax rebates by installing a tankless, energy-efficient water heater to your residential property.
Can I install my tankless water heater myself?
No. Tankless water heater installations are one of the most complicated and dangerous do-it-yourself projects. Installing a new unit requires removing the old unit, incurring the risk of gas or propane leaks. It’s also important that the appliance meets the latest building codes. Using the wrong materials or missing a step puts your home and family in danger, threatens the longevity of your unit and could require a second installation process, increasing your overall costs.
