Have you had enough of paying five—or more—dollars for gas and sky-high prices for food? It’s time to economize and here’s a way you can save on energy expenses in your home.
For more than 50 years, Europeans have led the way in saving on energy expenses in their homes with tankless water heater systems. Today, we Americans are beginning to recognize the financial advantages of replacing old-fashioned tank water heaters with tankless systems.
Tankless water heater systems lower your monthly energy bills by heating water instantaneously and only when needed. Water doesn’t sit in a large tank all day and night, needing to be reheated over and over again as the water cools down. It’s been estimated that as much as 40% of your annual energy costs come from the old-fashioned, large tank approach to getting your hot water.
Tankless systems require less maintenance, up to four or five years between servicing as opposed to the required annual maintenance for traditional tank water heaters.
Tankless water heaters last longer, needing to be replaced only every 20 years or so, as compared to the 8- to 10-year lifespan of traditional, tank-type water heaters.
Another cost-saving advantage of tankless water heaters comes at the encouragement of the US government with many companies offering rebates ranging from $300 to $700.
