If you currently have a conventional tank water heater, you've likely heard some talk about the benefits of on-demand water heating. But what does that mean? And why should you pick a tankless model over a tried-and-true tank? Read on to discover four reasons your next water heater should be a natural gas, tankless model.


  1. Convenient

    Traditional tank water heaters only preheat water present in the tank. Once that reservoir empties, you're left without hot water until it can heat up the next full tank.


    Tankless water heaters heat water on demand using heating elements within pipes. As water travels through the unit, it heats up quickly so it will be the perfect temperature when it reaches your bathroom, kitchen or washing machine.


  2. Efficient

    Another benefit of on-demand water heating? Energy efficiency. Traditional water heaters prepare an entire tank of hot water, but what happens if you don't use it all? Or any of it, for that matter? The heating elements will constantly work to keep that water hot for when your family needs it.


    Tankless models heat water as you need it, so no energy is wasted preparing hot water that may or may not be used.


  3. Compact

    Just as it says in the name, tankless water heaters don't require a tank. That frees up space in your home where a large tank would have been and gives you more options for installation locations, such as in a tightly packed laundry room.


  4. Long-lasting

    Normal tank water heaters are made to last about 10-15 years. Tankless water heaters last for up to 20 years on average. Plus, they're less prone to maintenance issues, which means fewer visits from the repairman and less money spent on repairs.

These are just a few of the reasons tankless water heaters have skyrocketed in popularity and been a top choice for homeowners across the country. So, what are you waiting for? Start the process of switching to a space-saving, efficient tankless water heater today.
