Hot water on demand water heaters are an energy-efficient option for homes looking to replace or upgrade their existing unit. Best suited for homes requiring less than 41 gallons of hot water per day, under normal usage an average household can save over $100 by switching to a tankless system.
Mr. Rooter® Plumbing of Greater Syracuse has a number of ENERGY STAR®-certified on demand hot water heaters. Let us help you find the system that's right for you.
The average Syracuse home with an on demand hot water heater will require considerably less energy to heat their water. Depending on the amount of water used in a day, and the energy efficiency and configuration of the appliance(s), on demand water heaters can use 50% of the energy of a conventional system. In addition, tankless water heaters take up less space in the home, are easier to repair and have a longer operational life than tank storage heaters.
On demand hot water does have its drawbacks: systems are typically more expensive upfront than conventional water heaters, and, for houses that use more than 86 gallons of hot water a day, energy efficiency for a single unit begins to drop. Tankless water heaters can produce between 2-5 gallons of hot water per minute. While this is enough to take a shower or run the dishwasher, most systems will be unable to handle both at the same time.
The size of the tankless water heater that you need will depend on the number of devices you want to run at a time and their total flow rate. Along with the flow rate, you also need to consider the required temperature rise for the different uses.
Mr. Rooter can help you to determine the size of tankless water heater that is right for your home and your needs.
