Replacing Your Old Water Heater with a Tankless One.

If you are debating the value of a tankless water heater here are some things that you need to know –

What is the advantage of going tankless? 

1.  It provides hot water ONLY when you need it.  The water is heated on the spot when you turn on the faucet.

2.  You reduce energy loss and increase efficiency by over HALF!  An average household will save about $200 per year.

What are the downsides of a tankless water heater?

1.  It cannot produce a large amount of hot water all at once.  A tankless water heater produces less than half of the gallons per minute that a traditional water heater pumps out.

2.  A new system is typically double the price of a traditional hot water heater.

Is it Time to Consider a Tankless Water Heater?

Your old water heater is probably working overtime in this weather.  How old is it?  How long do you expect it to run at peak efficiency?  And better yet, what kind of quality is that water heater you currently have?  These are all questions that need to be answered in the dead of winter in Chicagoland.  Imagine waking up tomorrow and showering in ice cold water?  Yikes!

It may be time to consider a new tankless water heater for your home.  First of all, it saves space as they are constructed in such a way to fit just about anywhere.  A tankless water heater provides unlimited and continuous hot water and best of all SAVES YOU MONEY on each and every gas bill.  We’re talking up to 40% savings over a conventional water heater.  It also helps control bacteria.

The Virtues of a Tankless Water Heater.

You probably don't think about your water heater until it’s too late. When that time comes consider that storage tanks cost less but tankless heaters save energy by only heating the water you draw. Needless to say that is good for your budget as well as the environment.

Before you shell out thousands for a tankless model, you may wish to see whether your old water heater can be fixed. A corroded storage-tank model is probably beyond repair, but a leaky drain or pressure-relief valve or a burned-out heating element can often be fixed. Rule of thumb: Consider a repair if the labor cost (which warranties often exclude) averages less than $50 per year over the years left in the warranty. Otherwise, buy a new one, especially if the warranty has run out.

What you save with tankless systems can vary significantly based on which one you buy and where you live.

To be sure that you need a new water heater or that you get the best deal on a new one, the experts at AquaTech Plumbing are a phone call away.  If you live in Naperville, Lisle, Plainfield, Aurora, Geneva, Batavia, St. Charles, Wheaton, Winfield, Warrenville, or Glen Ellyn, give AquaTech Plumbing a call today about your water heater or any other plumbing need at 630-416-3555, 630-898-3444, 630-377-9555, or 630-462-3555.

Shopping for a Water Heater.

Is it time to replace that old water heater?  If it is you have two distinct choices…standard and tankless.  AquaTech Plumbing serving the western suburbs of Chicago wants you to be educated as to the choices involved.  A water heater is something that you will live with for many years to come and you need to make the right decision for your home and lifestyle.

If you choose a standard water heater you want something that lasts a long time and is less susceptible to leaking and rupturing.  A big tank water heater that stores 40 to 60 gallons of hot water at a time will keep your showers, laundry, and other hot water needs properly satisfied for quite some time.  Modern tanks reheat additional supply quite quickly as well, so you'll likely never run out of hot water when you need it.

With a tankless water heater you are spending more upfront, but your back-end savings will more than make up for it.  Tankless systems provide that hot water on demand, instantaneously, when you need it, so you don't have to waste energy heating unused water.  And finally, a typical tank water heater is supposed to last 10 to 13 years, tankless water heaters are estimated to last up to 20 years.

A Standard Water Heater for Your West Suburban Chicagoland Home.

Earlier this month AquaTech Plumbing, serving the Naperville-Aurora area, discussed the virtues of a tankless water heater.  Let’s face it, most of us will do perfectly well with a standard water heater.  However, you must choose the correct one and have it installed by professionals such as AquaTech.

Have you heard the name Bradford White?  Bradford White water heaters last longer. They are less susceptible to leaking and rupturing because they are made from mined ore in America rather than imported scrap metal containing small flecks of rust and particles.  A fact such as that would escape even the more educated home owner, but it is not lost on the professionals at AquaTech.  You will be much happier with the staying power of your water heater installed by AquaTech Plumbing and will have to replace it less frequently.

Isn’t it nice to have one less thing to think about concerning your home’s efficiency and safety?  This is the perfect time of year to address that old water heater.  Call AquaTech today if you live in Naperville, Lisle, Plainfield, Aurora, Geneva, Batavia, St. Charles, Wheaton, Winfield, Warrenville, or Glen Ellyn about your water heater or any other plumbing need at 630-416-3555, 630-898-3444, 630-377-9555, or 630-462-3555.

A Tankless Water Heater is Not Only Economical, But Good for the Environment as Well.

You probably don't think about your water heater until a cold shower suggests you need a new one. How do you  choose? Storage tanks cost less but tankless heaters save energy by only heating the water you draw. Hybrid electric/heat-pump models and solar water heaters are two newer options.

Before you shell out thousands for a tankless or solar model, see whether your old water heater can be fixed. A corroded storage-tank model is history. But a leaky drain or pressure-relief valve or a burned-out heating element can often be fixed. Rule of thumb: Consider a repair if the labor cost (which warranties often exclude) averages less than $50 per year over the years left in the warranty. Otherwise, buy a new one, especially if the warranty has run out.

Consumer Reports tests through winter snow and summer heat also show that what you save with solar and tankless systems can vary significantly based on which one you buy and where you live. They also tested an add-on heat pump that, because of high maintenance, costs far more than its low price suggests.
