Rheem Water Heaters - Full Line

A growing number of people have chosen tankless hot water heaters for their homes because of their numerous advantages over traditional water-heating systems.

Take a look at some of the advantages:

First, you have hot water right away when you want it, and in reality, you have endless-hot water. When you turn up the hot water in your shower, bathtub, sink, dishwasher, or washing machine you will get instant hot water.

Flow sensors inside the tankless hot water heater sense when it is needed and switch-on to produce on demand hot water. No longer do people have to wait for half an hour or longer to bathe. Tankless hot water heaters not only give you instant hot water, they give you more time.

Tankless hot water heaters also bring utility savings due to less electricity and water being required to operate them. The costs of tanked hot water heaters over the years can be staggering when compared with tankless hot water heaters.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy for households that use 41 gallons or less of hot water a day, tankless hot water heaters can be 24% to 34% more energy efficient than traditional hot water heaters. Tankless hot water heaters also have less heat loss than traditional hot water heaters, when combined with less energy and water usage it makes them eco-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Old style hot water heaters had a propensity for another problem, leaking. If tanked hot water heaters were not regularly inspected rusting bottoms or imperfections in the tank would lead to flooding of the garage or home.

Water damage and related clean up costs can be highly expensive, and a price cannot be put on irreplaceable items. Tankless hot water heaters only retain water in their heat exchange coils, so there is not sufficient water to flood a room.

Tanked water heaters also pose another less obvious problem, how much space they take up. Depending on the size of your home the tank for your hot water heater could take up significant space in a garage or utility room. A tankless hot water heater gives you more space for tools, cars, or storage than a traditional hot water system.

They are also more attractive than an old hot water heater. In some cases, people have wrapped insulation around their hot water tanks in an effort to keep them warm after they are turned off. When a hot water heater is wrapped in insulation and taped it become a real eye-sore. If you have a lot of traffic through your garage, an ugly hot water heater can be an embarrassment.

Tankless hot water heaters are also safer than tanked hot water heaters. Old hot water heaters would too often have spikes in hot water leading to burns on infants and toddlers; tankless hot water heaters control the temperature so spikes cannot happen.
