Aug. 30, 2017 —\u00a0Water heating is the\u00a0second-largest expense\u00a0in the home, accounting for 14-18 percent of the home’s utility bill<\/strong>. Homeowners are always looking for ways to maximize energy and cost savings in their homes, and investing in an energy-efficient on-demand water heater could be the key.\u00a0Greater Boston-based\u00a0128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, a BBB A+ rated home service company with over 800 5-star reviews online, offers homeowners five reasons to consider replacing a standard water heater with a tankless water heater.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Think of all the energy we’ve wasted with our water heaters constantly running,” says\u00a0Ryan Williams, general manager of 128 PHCE. “In a large home, it’s not unusual for 75 gallons of hot water in a tank to be constantly working to maintain temperature; even while you’re at work or away on vacation.”<\/p>\n

Williams offers the following benefits for homeowners to consider a tankless, on-demand water heater over a traditional system:<\/p>\n

Save money and energy \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Tankless water heaters may cost more than a traditional model to install, but the long-term savings could provide an even greater value to the home. One of the greatest advantages includes reducing standby costs,<\/span> or the costs associated with a tank sitting idle while no one is using it. Tankless, or “on-demand,” water heaters heat water only as it is needed once a fixture is turned on. High-efficiency tankless systems are built to use 10 to 50 percent less energy than standard water heaters<\/span>, making operating costs lower as well.<\/p>\n

Space savings \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Going tankless can increase storage options and free up space for other necessities in your home. Traditional water heaters holding 40-60 gallons can be around 5 feet tall and 2 feet wide. A tankless water heater will only take up the space equivalent to a home computer.<\/p>\n

Longer life span\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The life span of a tankless water heater is typically longer than any other available water-heating option<\/span> for the home; including storage tanks, heat pumps and solar powered heaters.<\/p>\n

Cleaner water \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The water inside a standard water heater sits stagnant in a storage tank for extended periods of time. Sediment buildup and rust from the tank’s interior may result in a contaminated water supply. With a tankless system, water is never held within the confines of a water heater, resulting in a cleaner supply for your home.<\/p>\n

Earn rebates and financing –<\/strong>\u00a0Depending upon in which city you live in the\u00a0Boston\u00a0area, you could be eligible for rebates and financing with approval for choosing a high-efficiency water heater.<\/p>\n
