Hot water is an essential utility for everyday life. Whether we’re washing dishes, clothes, or our bodies, hot water is a critical element. Unfortunately, according to some estimates, water heating is the second-largest expense on a home’s monthly utility bill. In many cases, this is simply because a water heater with a tank spends hours keeping the same batch of water hot when no one is at home.
For that reason, technology has moved toward tankless water heating. This technology is typically installed right next to plumbing fixtures, which translates to less heat loss as the water travels through your pipes. And because water is only heated just before it’s needed, a lot less energy is wasted on heating tepid water that’s been sitting in a tank for hours. While tankless water heaters are a bit more expensive, over time the energy savings and reduced environmental impact can make them well worth the investment.
