Tankless Vs. Conventional Water Heater

Is Your Water Heater Obsolete?

Did you know that the water heater technology in your home is over 100 years old? It's true. Every “tank" style water heater is based on the oringinal design dating back to the 1890s. This “new" system was revolutionary at the time since prior to that, homes had to heat their water on stoves or in fireplaces and mix it with cold water to adjust the temperature. This 1890s “tank style" system used a gas flame to heat the water in a storage tank, which allowed for heated water to flow as needed. The concept of that originally designed system has barely evolved in over 100 years? Imagine still using gas lanterns, wood-burning ovens or 8-track tape players. Technological advances have impacted just about every household item we use with one exception…our water heaters!
Today, you can experience hot water literally “on-demand," and have a safer and more “green" energy efficient home.

How Tank Systems Deteriorate, Become Less Efficient & Eventually Fail.

Conventional tank water heaters are glass-lined and use a sacrificial anode rod to “slow" the deterioration process down. As this rod dissolves, minerals in the water begin to attack the interior of the tank. Over time, usually within 5 to 15 years, your tank becomes filled with sediment, which decreases the water capacity and can actually invade your home's water supply. This sediment can be the cause of rusty water stains, unpleasant odors and even cause damage to expensive faucets. The diagram shows how you water heater will deteriorate over time. This is NOT a matter of “if," but rather “when."

Did You Know…
the average household spends over $472 a year to heat the water in their home? The reason that figure may seem alarming is that your water heater is heating your home's water 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! Heating the water when you sleep, when you're away at work, even when you're on vacation. It never stops consuming energy! It's like leaving your car running while you go shopping at the mall. It just doesn't make sense. Plus, the older you “tank" water heater is, the more dangerous it may be.
What if you could cut your water heater energy expense by as much as 50%? What if you could have the peace of mind knowing that you may never need to purchase a new water heater ever again? Advances in water heater technology now make this possible.

Your Source For Endless, Constant Hot Water.

Unlike conventional tank style water heaters the Tankless system provides and “endless supply" of hot water. How many times has your current system left you “out in the cold" when too much hot water was used? With a Tankless system, your supply of hot water is always at the ready, but only when needed. Long hot showers no longer mean the next person gets the cold shoulder. As a matter of fact, you could fill your swimming pool up and still not run out of hot water.

Tankless systems heat your water as needed. There is no “tank" and water is literally heated as it passes through the system…instantly. Hot water never runs out, never becomes lukewarm and never needs time to refill and reheat. Best of all, since your Tankless system turns on and off as needed, it reduces your energy use and you'll begin to see the savings immediately.

3x More Efficient Than “Tank" Design Conventional Systems! When's the last time you left your car running while you shopped at the mall? How about leaving your oven on when you're away from your for a couple of hours? Every day. 7 days a week, 365 days a year your conventional water heater is doing just that! Heating your home's water supply while you're away. Cycling on and off every time the water temperature drops. This constant on and off cycle wastes precious energy, which equates to higher utility bills and accelerated wear and tear. The Tankless system is over 3 times as efficient as a conventional system since it NEVER cycles on until you need hot water. No energy is wasted heating your home's water supply while you are away or when it's not in use. Plus, the Tankless system is so incredibly efficient that it actually uses up to 50% less energy to heat your water while in use.

Control Your Water Heater At The Touch Of A Button

A conventional water heating system's temperature is preset at the factory and is not easily adjusted. If it's too hot, most of us just “live with it" and run more cold water to adjust the temperature. Not only do you waste more water, but more energy as well to heat the water to the higher temperature. How inefficient is that?

Most Tankless systems come complete with a simple to use wall-mounted control panel. Now you can “dial in" your desired water temperature instantly with the touch of a keypad. This handy device allows you to increase or decrease the water temperature with ease. Want hotter water for a wash load of white linens? How about cooler water for sensitive skin? You'll never need to worry about “scalding" hot water again since YOU control the temperature quickly, easily and instantly.

No More Expensive “Emergency" Service Calls…Ever!

What if your old water heater malfunctions or stops working entirely? What if it starts to leak, or worse ruptures and dumps gallons of scalding hot water into your home? Since everyone's cost is greater to repair an emergency problem, it only makes sense to avoid them if you can, doesn't it?
