What Makes Tankless Water Heaters More Cost-Efficient?

Tankless water heaters are more cost-efficient primarily due to their on-demand heating capability. Unlike traditional water heaters, which continuously heat a large tank of water regardless of usage, tankless units heat water only when you need it. This eliminates the standby heat loss associated with stored water, leading to significant energy savings over time. This also means tankless water heaters use less energy overall, directly reducing utility bills. Many homeowners find that these ongoing energy savings quickly offset the initial higher investment in a tankless system.

The Lifespan of a Tankless Water Heater

With proper care and regular maintenance, tankless water heaters can last 15 to 20 years. These units have fewer parts susceptible to corrosion and breakdown, which means fewer repair headaches and a longer, more reliable service life. Regular check-ups and minor maintenance tasks, such as descaling and cleaning, can further extend a tankless water heater's operational lifespan.

Caring For Your Tankless Water Heater

Proper maintenance is vital to maximizing the life span of your tankless water heater. Important maintenance tasks include flushing the system yearly to remove mineral buildup, especially if you have hard water, and regularly inspecting and cleaning the inlet screen filter. Additionally, ensuring that your unit is professionally serviced as recommended by the manufacturer will keep it running smoothly and efficiently. 

However, even the most carefully maintained units can still get damaged or malfunction. It’s important to understand when your tankless water heater requires professional repairs.

Keep an eye out for symptoms like: 

• Fluctuating water temperature: If your hot water varies wildly between hot and cold, it may indicate a problem with the heating elements or a buildup of mineral deposits.
• Reduced water flow: A noticeable drop in water pressure could signal a clogged filter or other blockages that need attention.
• Unusual noises: Strange sounds such as hissing or clicking can suggest sediment buildup or issues within the unit that require a professional inspection.
• Error codes: Modern tankless water heaters have display panels that show error codes when something is wrong. Refer to your manual or call a professional to diagnose the issue.
• Unexpectedly high energy bills: If you notice a significant increase in your energy bills without a corresponding increase in usage, your tankless water heater may be running inefficiently due to an underlying issue.

If you notice any of the above warning signs, Clear Drain Plumbing can help you get your tankless water heater back in working order ASAP.
