Reap the Benefits of Electric Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters are a modern plumbing marvel! Our favourite model is the electric unit. It connects to your electric power supply for an eco-friendly approach to warming your water.
After installing an electric water heater, you'll enjoy:
- Energy savings: You'll quickly notice that your energy-efficient electric water heater saves more money with each passing utility bill.
- Increased home safety: Peace of mind is priceless. No more worries about a leaky gas line or carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Longer service life: An electric water heater typically lasts longer than a gas heater.
- Affordable installation: How much is a tankless water heater worth? You'll likely pay less for installation than a gas water heater.
While electric options have numerous perks, gas alternatives can also improve your home.
Gas Tankless Water Heater Options
You might still staunchly lean into the advantages of a natural gas unit. We also install gas water heaters in households that:
- Have natural gas access. If you already have it, why not use it?
- Love the swift heating capabilities of a gas-fired model. Gas-powered appliances often warm up faster than electric ones.
- Appreciate how the gas burner works, even in power outages! Downed power lines in your area? No problem! You can still take hot showers and protect your plumbing system.
- Prefer the quick installations that accompany gas units. Electric units are more technical and can therefore take longer to connect.
No matter your power preference, you will save space since tankless water heaters don't require a human-sized tank to store the water supply.
When Is It Time to Install Gas or Electric Tankless Heaters?
Like many Canadians, you aren't exactly thrilled to shell out big bucks for tankless water heater installation. But these appliances need replacement services every decade or so. Plus, you should start shopping for tankless water heaters if:
- Your utility bills dramatically increase. Decreased energy efficiency means expensive gas, electric, and water bills. You need to reach for your wallet less often.
- Your tanked heater doesn't heat water quickly. How long do you run the water before the supply reaches the perfect temperature? You should only wait a couple of minutes for the bath water to run hot.
- You've already replaced the pressure relief valve and other essential components. Sometimes, you have to repair a perfectly functional appliance. However, multiple repairs often indicate a bigger, more expensive concern.
- You do the cold-water dance during most of your showers. You jump under the stream just to jump out again because the old water heater can't make up its mind. Stop doing this tired, unpredictable dance and go back to enjoyable showers.
Mr. Rooter can help you choose from a reputable selection of non-condensing units that promptly deliver hot water to your plumbing fixtures.
