Your water heater works fine, so why bother switching to something new when you don\u2019t feel the need to? The fact of the matter is this: the world is switching away from tank-style water heaters, and for good reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While going tankless may seem daunting at first, we\u2019re here to tell you that it doesn\u2019t have to be difficult or the least bit concerning. (Actually, it can save you money on your monthly bills.) Let\u2019s take a look at tankless water heaters and why you might use one to replace your current water heater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You Save Money Each Month<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the most immediate reason to consider switching to a tankless water heater is the savings it offers. With a tank water heater, you pay to heat a large amount of water, then you pay to keep it hot in that tank until it\u2019s needed. Your water heater runs all night, by the way, so when you\u2019re sleeping, you\u2019re spending money. To ensure you’re maximizing efficiency, learn more about s<\/strong>etting the right temperature on your water heater<\/a> to balance energy savings and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a tankless water heater, or an on-demand water heater as it\u2019s often referred to, the device clasps around your pipes and heats water up as you need it. No massive storage tank, no constant heating cycles even when it\u2019s not in use\u2013just on-demand hot water that doesn\u2019t drive up your bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Typically Last Longer Than Tank Water Heaters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While there are plenty of tank water heaters with a long life expectancy, they pale in comparison to tankless water heaters. There\u2019s simply less that goes wrong with tankless water heaters, so you aren\u2019t left with nearly as many problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tankless water heaters are also easier to maintain on your own outside of your annual maintenance schedule. These systems are more straightforward, so they\u2019re easier to manage for homeowners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No More Cold Showers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it can take 15 seconds up to around a minute for most modern tankless water heaters to really kick in, so you may still have to purge a little bit of water before stepping in the shower. But the beautiful thing is: once the shower is hot, it stays that way. If you’re dealing with an old or inefficient water heater, it may be time to check how old is too old for a water heater<\/a> and decide if an upgrade is the right choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you could take longer showers than normal and still save money, just by switching to a tankless water heater. On those cold mornings where you\u2019re not ready to step out of the steam and comfort of a hot shower, well, now you don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to Make an Upgrade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Save space, money, and stop being frustrated with showers that run ice-cold at a moment\u2019s notice. It\u2019s time to make the upgrade your entire family can benefit from, and put some more cash in your back pocket every month at the same time. If you’re on Orcas Island, now is the perfect time to switch, as you can save up to $1,000 on a tankless water heater installation<\/a> through exclusive rebates and incentives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
