Is it harder to get your water to be as hot as you’d like? Are your energy bills higher? Is your hot water looking rusty out of the tap? These are signs that it’s time to think about replacing your water heater.
If you have a traditional tank-style water heater that’s hitting the ten-year mark, you’re probably used to running out of hot water. On busy mornings, when everyone needs to shower and get out, someone likely ends up with a lukewarm experience—which is not the best way to start the day.
Imagine having virtually unlimited hot water all while seeing lower fuel bills. It’s possible, with a high-efficiency tankless water heater. You can even run the dishwasher and do a load of laundry at the same time without worry!
Here are 5 more great reasons to go tankless:
Your water heater is one of the hardest-working pieces of equipment in your home. Between bathing and showering, washing dishes, and doing laundry, the typical American household uses between 60 and 65 gallons of hot water a day. Your water heater provides all that hot water, day in and day out. Cold Southern Maine winters can make your water heater work even harder.
That nonstop workload takes a toll. The life expectancy for a conventional tank-style water heater is between eight and 10 years. But don’t wait for your water heater to fail to replace it: like other essential equipment in your home, such as your refrigerator, you don’t want to go long without it.
