Tankless Water Heaters

Yes, tankless water heaters can work efficiently in various climates. However, the performance may be affected in extremely cold regions, especially if the incoming water temperature is significantly low. In such cases, considering a higher-capacity unit or installing a tankless water heater for specific points of use (e.g., showers) may help maintain hot water temperature in colder conditions.

In many cases, tankless water heaters can be retrofitted to work with existing plumbing and gas lines. However, it’s essential that a professional installer such as APS assess your current setup and ensure that it meets the requirements for proper installation and operation of the tankless unit.

Like all appliances, tankless water heaters benefit from regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. It is recommended to flush the unit annually to remove any mineral buildup that may occur over time. After installation, we can schedule periodic inspections and cleaning to help identify and address potential issues before they become major problems.

The size of the tankless water heater you need depends on your hot water usage. Factors such as the number of occupants in your home, the number of bathrooms, and typical hot water demand should be considered. We can setup an appointment to help you determine the appropriate size based on your specific needs.

While the upfront cost of a tankless water heater can be higher than that of a traditional water heater, the long-term energy savings and reduced maintenance costs often make up for the initial investment. Additionally, some utility companies offer rebates or incentives for installing energy-efficient tankless water heaters, further offsetting the installation cost.

Tankless water heaters offer several advantages over traditional storage tank water heaters. They provide endless hot water, eliminating the worry of running out during peak usage times. Tankless systems are more energy-efficient since they only heat water when required, leading to lower utility bills. They also occupy less space, making them suitable for smaller living spaces. Additionally, tankless water heaters have a longer lifespan compared to tank-type heaters, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

A tankless water heater, also known as an on-demand water heater, is a modern water heating system that heats water directly as it is needed, without the need for a storage tank. When you turn on a hot water tap, cold water passes through the unit’s heating element or gas burner, quickly raising the water temperature to the desired level. This process ensures a continuous supply of hot water on demand.
