Are you thinking about having a tankless water heater installed in your home?
There are some definite benefits to having a tankless water heater installed, not the least of which is the savings on your gas bill. You should use noticeably less gas with a tankless water heater than with a standard “tank” water heater. How?
If you have a 50 gallon gas water heater in your home, you are essentially keeping a 50 gallon tank of water heated to between 115 – 120 F. It will depend on where you have the thermostat on your water heater set, but you are heating this water all day and all night. If you go on vacation, you are heating this water. If you spend the weekend in Vegas, you are heating this water. This uses a lot of gas
When you install a tankless water heater, you only heat water when you open the faucet.
A tankless water heater has a device in it called a flow switch. This senses when water is flowing through the heater and turns on the gas to the burner. If you open a hot faucet somewhere in your house, the tankless water heater will immediately turn on and make 120 F hot water. When you turn off the faucet, the tankless water heater senses the flow has stopped and stops making hot water. This means you only use gas while you are using water!
This could mean a substantial savings on your gas bill. What’s more, there are rebates available from the federal government, and maybe from your gas company. Check the Noritz website and click on “Click Here For Local Utility Rebates” in the lower left corner. There is a rebate from the federal government ($300.00) and there may be one from your local gas company (up to $525.00!).
