Is a Tankless Water Heater Right for You?
If you’re not sure whether a tankless water heater is right for you, here are some frequently asked questions about these energy-efficient systems.
How much does a tankless water heater cost?
Tankless water heaters cost between $1,400 and $3,400 to install. According to Energy Star, a gas tankless water heater could save a family of four $95 per year, or $1,800 over its lifetime.
Will a tankless water heater work for my family size?
The size of your tankless water heater depends on your family’s needs. A family of two to three people can get a 6-9 GPM (gallons per minute) unit, while a family of four to five may need an 8-10 GPM unit. Your water heater usage habits and the number of bathrooms in your home will help determine the unit size you’ll need.
Do tankless water heaters work in colder climates?
A tankless water heater should work in any home, including those in colder climates. The best type of unit depends on your current home setup. For example, a gas tankless water heater is easy to install if you have an existing gas line.
If you need an electrical unit, you may need to upgrade the wiring in your home first or install new wiring to accommodate the unit. Modern technology, such as higher flow rates, no water tank rust or corrosion, and zoned options that provide hot water to specific areas of the home, ensure optimal year-round performance.
What are the differences between gas and electric models?
Gas tankless water heaters use propane or natural gas to power them, while electric models use electricity. Gas units typically have higher flow rates and heat water faster but require more complex installation and venting. Electric units are more affordable and easier to install but may not heat the water as efficiently as gas models.
