Tankless Water Heaters 

Does every morning in your home turn into a race to the shower, with the last person enduring cold water because the water heater tank needs to be refilled? Can you only run one appliance at a time because there isn’t enough hot water for the washing machine, dishwasher, and shower? If this sounds familiar, it may be time for a tankless water heater. 

Superior Plumbing and Drains, LLC, helps Charlotte area homeowners enjoy a virtually endless supply of hot water by installing energy-efficient on-demand water heaters. Learn more below or get in touch!

Instant Hot Water When and Where You Need It 

Most Charlotte homes have a traditional gas-powered or electric water heater, which heats and stores a large tank of water. Whenever you need hot water, it comes from the tank, which automatically refills. 

The problem with this method is that it can be very inefficient. For one, the water heater constantly uses energy to maintain the desired temperature until you need the water. Tanks also have a limited holding capacity, so in times of high demand, like the typical weekday morning, they can quickly run out of hot water. 

Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, heat water on demand. The moment you turn on a hot water faucet, cold water flows through the gas or electric unit, which quickly heats it before it reaches the tap. Since there’s no tank, an adequately sized system with the proper flow rate can provide unlimited hot water – even to multiple taps at the same time.

Why Invest in a Tankless Water Heater from Superior Plumbing and Drains, LLC?

The availability of endless hot water is a big reason homeowners are switching to tankless water heaters. After all, an uninterrupted supply of hot water is ideal when you want to fill a large soaking tub or wash clothing and dishes at the same time. 

There are other advantages to these tankless units, though, such as:

Improved Energy Efficiency 

The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that tankless water heaters are up to 34% more efficient in the typical household, in large part because there’s no need to keep hundreds of gallons of water hot. This can translate to lower monthly energy bills and make them a more environmentally friendly option for eco-conscious homeowners. 

More Space 

Traditional water heaters can take up a lot of space in a utility area, but tankless on-demand models are much smaller and hang on a wall. This can free up space in cramped utility rooms and give you more room for storage. 

Longer Lifespan 

With ongoing maintenance, a tankless water heater can last up to 20 years, which is about five to ten years longer than a traditional system.
