Hot Water On Demand For Harbor Springs, Charlevoix, Petoskey and More!
Enjoy Continuous Hot Water On-Demand
Conventional water heaters work by storing and heating a large amount of water in a tank. This takes a lot of energy, and when the demand for hot water exceeds the capacity of the tank, the water runs cold.
A tankless, or on-demand water heater heats water only when you need it, saving energy and keeping the hot water flowing far longer. Tankless water heaters are also much smaller and can usually be installed on a wall or inside a closet with proper ventilation to the outside of the house.
The Advantages Of Tankless Water Heaters
While a tankless water heater is more expensive to purchase and install than a conventional water heater, you’ll enjoy energy savings each month and can expect the tankless unit to last around 20 years when properly maintained – about twice the lifespan as a tank-style water heater.
How Do Tankless Water Heaters Work?
Other Factors To Consider
Most consumers do not realize that existing gas piping is typically not sized large enough to handle the capacity needed to fuel a tankless water heater and often times, the lines need to be enlarged, adding to the additional cost of the tankless water heater itself.
Annual maintenance is required to keep the water heater functioning at the highest efficiency.
