Should I Invest in a Tankless Water Heater?
Although tankless water heaters can provide advantages over conventional water heaters, there are some factors that should be considered.
- You will spend more money on the purchase of a tankless system and installation costs will be high if you are not already properly set up. In many situations, retrofitting can cause the costs to exceed the expected benefit.
- The mineral content, or hardness, in your water precipitates out in the heat exchanger and can cause clogging, reduced efficiency, increased maintenance, and premature failure. Tankless heaters require yearly maintenance and flushing to remove this mineral content.
