Many households rely on a boiler or an electric water heater for their hot water supply. While these systems can work fine, an increasing number of homes are finding it beneficial to switch to a tankless water heater. Here is a closer look at why this may be the best option for providing hot water to your family.

Why Replace a Boiler With a Tankless Water Heater

1. You Won’t Run Out of Hot Water

Standard water heaters have a limited capacity. Once all the hot water in the tank has been used, you will only have cold water until the new water in the tank has been heated up. Tankless water heaters warm up the water as it passes through the system, ensuring that you will never run out, even under heavy usage.

2. Save Energy

Since tankless water heaters don’t need to maintain a supply of hot water, they only run when you turn on the water. This means that it won’t waste energy trying to keep water hot in the storage tank during the rest of the day. Depending on your water usage, this can reduce water heating costs by 27 to 50%, and helps the environment.

3. Longevity

The design of a tankless water heater minimizes many of the maintenance concerns that arise with a standard boiler or water heater. As such, tankless models have an expected life expectancy that is 10 years longer than a traditional tank water heater and results in long-term savings.
