Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters offer several benefits over tank water heaters, including efficiency and convenience. Unlike conventional water heaters that store a finite amount of hot water, tankless systems heat water on demand to provide an uninterrupted supply of hot water.
Tankless models can also lead to significant savings on your monthly bills. Research shows that tankless systems can reduce energy consumption by 33 percent while taking up significantly less space, making them an excellent choice for smaller homes or apartments with limited room.
Can a Tankless Water Heater Keep Up During Freezing Temperatures?
Absolutely. A well-maintained tankless water heater can keep up even during Iowa’s harsh winters. However, cold incoming groundwater can reduce flow rates in cities like Cedar Rapids, where winter water temperatures often drop below 50°F.
Our technicians can assess your home, recommend a properly sized unit, and provide ongoing maintenance to keep your tankless system operating smoothly even during the winter months.
Gas vs. Electric Tankless Water Heaters: Which Is Best?
The best choice depends on your home’s layout, energy costs, and hot water needs. Gas tankless water heaters usually deliver higher flow rates and perform better in cold winters, but may also require gas line upgrades.
Electric tankless water heaters are easier to install and often more affordable upfront, but may struggle to keep up in homes with high hot water demand or very cold inlet water. Many older homes also need electrical panel upgrades before an electric unit can be installed.
Our team can evaluate your hot water usage, utility setup, and winter performance needs to help you find the best fit for your property. We can walk you through the pros and cons of each system and recommend a solution that delivers the best long-term value for your home.
Choosing the Right Tankless Water Heater Size for Your Home
A properly sized water heater is key to enjoying an endless supply of hot water. It’s important to match the unit’s flow rate to your peak hot water usage by evaluating how many showers, sinks, and appliances may run at the same time, as well as the colder incoming water temperatures during the winter months.
Our experts can assess your home, calculate an ideal water heater size, and help you select and install a unit with sufficient capacity to handle your household’s hot water demand. We perform comprehensive load calculations to recommend a suitable system for your property, preferences, and budget.
How to Get the Most From Your Tankless Water Heater
While tankless water heaters experience fewer problems and require less maintenance than tank systems, they still require regular care to operate efficiently. Here are some proactive steps you can take to maximize performance and longevity:
Wiping down the tank regularly to remove dust and debris.
Descaling your unit every 6-12 months to remove mineral buildup.
Contacting our maintenance experts for annual inspections and flushing.
Cleaning and replacing water inlet or air intake filters to maintain efficiency.
Our tankless water heater tune-ups are designed to cover all aspects of system care. We can clean, optimize, and inspect your unit to keep it running at peak performance in every season.
Can Tankless Water Heaters Work in Older Homes?
Tankless water heaters can perform well in older homes, but may require certain upgrades to operate safely and efficiently. Many older houses were not built with the electrical capacity or gas line sizing that modern tankless units need. Gas tankless systems necessitate large gas lines and proper venting, while electric units may need an electrical panel upgrade to handle the higher amperage.
With the right upgrades, tankless systems can provide reliable hot water even in homes that are decades old. Our highly trained professionals can inspect your current setup, explain any necessary upgrades, and guide you toward the best tankless option for your home’s age, layout, and hot water demand. We handle everything from evaluation to installation to make sure your home is fully equipped for modern, on-demand hot water.
Why Go Tankless?
Some reasons to invest in a tankless water heater include:
Longer lifespans. Tankless systems can last up to twice as long as tank water heaters with regular TLC.
Space-saving. Thanks to their tankless design, on-demand water heaters can fit where other water heaters can’t.
Less upkeep. Tankless water heaters generally require less maintenance than tank models due to the lack of a storage tank that may corrode or leak.
Endless hot water. Tankless models heat water as you use it, so you never have to worry about running out of hot water again.
Improved water quality. Tankless systems can improve water quality by eliminating stagnant water, sediment buildup, and rust associated with tanks.
