Despite the rumors, there is nothing refreshing about a cold shower, even during the warmest months of the year. Unfortunately, for most consumers in small homes or apartments, the size of the tank on their water heater is often extremely limited in size. Because of this, after one major hot water use, there is nothing to do but wait for the tank to refill itself and reheat another batch of water. Between doing dishes, washing clothes, and bathing, it can become a very delicate balancing act to ensure that you have enough hot water to meet your needs exactly when you need it. There is, however, another alternative. Titan tankless water heaters can make running out of hot water a thing of the past.
Why Go Tankless?
A typical water heater is comprised of the heating element and a large tank for storing water. The heater cycles on and off periodically to keep the water that is being stored in the tank at a certain temperature, ensuring a supply of hot water when needed. In small spaces, however, the size of the reserve tank is decreased significantly, in turn decreasing the supply of hot water on hand at any given time. While larger homes are able to accommodate water heaters with larger reserve tanks, there are still limitations as to how many hot water utilizing activities can take place concurrently.
A Titan tankless hot water heater, on the other hand, eliminates the water reserve tank and, instead, heats the water as it is needed. While this process takes slightly longer to get the water flow to the desired temperature, the extra moments it may take are typically well worth the fact that, with a Titan tankless hot water heater, you will never run out of hot water again. Tankless systems can also free up a significant amount of space.
Even small standard water heater units have cumbersome tanks that often fill a closet or other out of the way space that could better be utilized for other purposes. If you are switching to a tankless water heater because of space issues to begin with, the extra closet one could free up can be a godsend.
Tankless System Usage Cost Savings
A tankless system works by utilizing its heating element component to heat the flow of water as it passes through to your sink, washing machine, or other device. This not only eliminates the need for housing a cumbersome water tank, it also cuts energy costs. Since the tankless system only has to run when hot water is needed, the energy used by a traditional water heater as it cycles on and off to keep its reserves warm is eliminated completely. You are only using the system to heat the water you need, when you need it. When there are no devices in the home pulling hot water, the system will remain idle, completely eliminating the need for the unit to pull power when not in use.
Tankless System Hardware Cost Savings
Tankless systems are slightly more expensive to install up front, but the cost savings and convenience of an endless supply of hot water are well worth the extra cost to most consumers. Even if you have room to accommodate a full size traditional water heater, a tankless system may still be you best option. Some larger homes, particularly those with more than one story, may also require multiple hot water tank systems to be installed. With a tankless system, one unit is able to heat the water supply for the entire house. Be eliminating the need for multiple standard systems, a Titan tankless hot water heater will pay for itself immediately.
