We Install Tankless Water Heaters in Reno and Area

An Energy-Efficient Solution

Nearly 20% of your home’s total energy consumption goes toward keeping the water in your water heater at an ideal temperature, according to a recent study commissioned by the Department of Energy. Now consider that a tankless water uses 30% energy on average than a traditional water heater. What this means for you is a noticeable decrease on your monthly energy bill.

Always On-Demand Hot Water

Like most families in the Reno area, you may find it a constant juggling act to run your dishwasher, washing machines, and still have enough hot water available for several members of your family to take a hot shower. Tankless water heaters only heat the water on an as-needed basis. Once you turn on a hot faucet, your tankless water heater’s flow sensor will detect a change in pressure and begin heating the water as it passes over the system’s internal coils.

Tankless Systems Last Twice as Long

On average, a tankless water heater will last upwards of 20 years. Traditional hot water heaters typically last 10 to 13 years so long as the homeowner is vigilant on keeping up with yearly maintenance.

Tankless Water Heater Checklist

If you answer ‘yes’ to any of the following questions, you may want to consider upgrading to a tankless system:

• Are there two or more people living in your home?
• Are you regularly running out of hot water?
• Is your water heater approaching 10 years in age?
• Are you looking to save money on your energy costs?

Avoid Catastrophic Leaks and Bursts

One major concern with traditional water heaters is that even the best designed system will form a leak or burst at some point. With a burst tank, you will have 40 gallons or so of steaming hot water suddenly all over your floor, which can be problematic in certain areas of the home. But, that’s not the worst part. Water will continue to pour into your tank until you close off the line leading to your water heater. The cost to repair water damage from a burst tank can be in the thousands.

Great for Homes with Hard Water

If you’ve ever had to drain or repair a hot water heater then you likely know how much limescale and sediment buildup can accumulate at the bottom of the tank. While tankless water heaters do need to be descaled from time to time, you will not have the same performance-hindering effects that are common with more traditional tanks. A traditional water heater that isn’t regularly serviced can lose gallons of heated water capacity in just a few short years.
