Thinking about going to a tankless water heater? Here are a few things to consider!
Pros of Tankless:
1) The lifespan of a quality gas tankless water heater is 20 years! A tank-type nowadays is 10 years.
2) Endless hot water
3) Some models have a built in recirculation pump that delivers hot water almost instantly
4) Easily serviceable and replaceable
5) Can be installed in tight spaces
6) Can be installed indoors or outdoors
Cons of Tankless:
1) Must have a gas source. While electric tankless water heaters exist- most plumbing contractors have not found them to be reliable. If you’re in Salado- this means that you must have propane available.
2)Recommended to be flushed annually- you can do this yourself or hire a professional
3) As with a tank-type water heater, a water softening system is strongly encouraged
4) Tankless water heaters are more expensive than a tank type heater.
