Fall is in full swing and winter is well on its way, which means that the demand for hot water in your house is about to go through the roof! From washing holiday dishes to warming up with a shower after a long, cold day, hot water is a necessity during the chilly winter months, but if you rely on a traditional tank-style water heater, it’s something that you’ll only have in limited supply. If you don’t want to be dealing with the annoyance of your hot water running out on a regular basis, you’ll have to do something to remedy the situation, and installing a tankless water heater is one of the best options!

 

This updated style of water heater has endless perks to offer, and you won’t know just how much it can improve your experience of colder weather until you’ve tried it out for yourself! Here are a few of the benefits you can expect to reap when you install a tankless water heater this winter.

Endless Hot Water 

Even in our modern day and age, a supply of hot water that never runs out is not something that every house has access to. Traditional tank water heaters run out eventually, and you have to wait for the water in the tank to reheat again before you can enjoy a shower that’s uninterrupted by an unpleasant cold stream.

 

This problem can be eliminated with a tankless water heater! Because this design heats water on demand instead of storing hot water to be used when you need it, you can have practically endless hot water whenever you need it, even after two showers and a dishwasher load before you!

Energy Efficiency

Bringing down household expenses is something that most people can enthusiastically get behind, but it’s easier said than done in the winter. Between the lights that need to be on longer thanks to earlier sunsets and the heat that has to be blasting in order to keep everyone comfortable, you can expect your utilities to go up when the temperature goes down without even getting into the cost of running your water heater. 

 

Tankless water heaters, however, are known to be significantly more efficient than their traditional counterparts. Using one means that not only will you benefit from instant hot water, but you can look forward to lowering your energy usage and expenses during this season!

Reduced Leakage Risk

The list of issues that can arise with a water heater is long and features quite a few symptoms, but for many homeowners, the first sign they notice that something is going wrong with their water heater is a leak. This brings a host of problems in and of itself. If a traditional tank-style water heater has reached the point where it’s leaking, you’re probably looking at a more labor-intensive, costly repair, not to mention the possibility of water damage!

 

Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, have a significantly reduced risk of leaks thanks to one very simple fact– they don’t hold or store water, so there’s fewer places for them to leak from! If you’ve known the struggle of dealing with water damage in your basement or utility closet before, you’ll love the added reassurance that a tankless water heater can provide. 

Longer Lifespan

Sadly, no home appliance or piece of equipment can last forever, and eventually everything does need to be replaced. Getting your money’s worth as a homeowner is usually about trying to get an appliance like your water heater to last as long as it possibly can, up to its full lifespan if possible! With tank-style water heaters, you’ll be lucky to get past ten years, and can expect things to start causing problems in as little as eight.

 

Tankless water heaters, however, have a much longer lifespan, and you can get fifteen good years out of them and up to twenty in the best cases! This extended timeframe will save you money, time, and effort when it comes to the upkeep of your home.

 

With winter on its way, installing a tankless water heater is something that you’re going to want to start looking into today! If you’re interested in learning more about this option, contact Schuler Service for more information. We’ll be happy to help you!
