The Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters: Efficiency, Performance, and Flexibility

A tankless water heater provides water on demand, so homeowners are never limited to traditional storage tank water heaters. You’ll enjoy an endless hot water supply when you want it, plus these significant advantages.

Reduced Energy Costs: Because tankless water heaters are highly efficient, homeowners can save up to 40 percent on their SDG&E bill compared to a traditional model. When the water demand ceases, the unit shuts down—a revolutionary advantage over a standard water heater.
Increased Performance and Longevity: Tankless water heaters last 20 years or longer, partially because of the absence of a water tank—and the usual problems. Tankless units also feature many easily replaced components, resulting in even longer lifespans. Even with regular inspection, draining, and flushing, a conventional gas water heater can last less than a decade.
Cleaner Water: When your water heater has no tank, there’s no place for rust or buildup to accumulate. A tankless gas heater provides cleaner hot water because it only circulates water when heating it. The less water sits in a tank or plumbing system, the more likely it is to be fresher and cleaner.
Flexible Installation Options: Conventional water heaters take up valuable floor space and can only be installed in certain areas. Tankless units are significantly smaller and can be installed on nearly any wall inside or outside your home.
Increased Water Capacity: Traditional tank-style heaters can struggle to meet increased hot water demands. With the latest tankless water heater technology, you’ll never run out of hot water. Units can be used individually or in three or more banks for residential, commercial, and multi-family applications.

With tankless water heaters, there’s no storage hot water tank to leak or break, thus reducing the risk of flooding. Plus, we can set water temperatures for multiple locations in your home to ensure comfort and prevent scalding accidents. With a tankless gas water heater installation, you can heat water to the perfect temperature for your faucet or shower whenever needed.

FAQs

What is a tankless water heater?

Tankless water heaters, also known as on-demand water heaters, provide hot water only when needed. A tankless water heater installation is far more efficient because there are no standby energy losses like with conventional water heaters. The typical tankless water heater provides 2 to 5 gallons of hot water per minute. Natural gas tankless units produce significantly higher flow rates than electric water heaters. Due to the higher efficiency of natural gas units, Bill Howe Plumbing doesn't recommend the installation of an electric tankless water heater.

Why is it important to install a water filter with a tankless water heater?

We recommend installing a water filter with every tankless water heater to counteract San Diego's notoriously hard water. Bill Howe Plumbing offers high-quality water filters and expert installation to serve our customers better. We have everything you need to create tankless water heater systems that last longer and perform better.

Should tankless water heaters be serviced?

A tankless water heater should typically be serviced once a year to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Here are some key maintenance tasks for tankless water heaters:

Descaling: Remove mineral buildup yearly or more often with hard water.
Air Filter Cleaning: Regularly clean or replace to ensure proper airflow.
System Flushing: Use vinegar or a descaling agent to flush sediment and scale.
Venting Check: Ensure vents are clear and sealed to prevent leaks.
Burner Inspection: Check for proper ignition and combustion.
Water Filter Maintenance: Clean or replace the water filter if present.
Monitor Error Codes: Regularly check and address error codes.
