 Water Heaters - Never Take A Cold Shower Again
When you’re looking for a new water heater, keep in mind that the money you spend now, may well be an investment that pays off in the long run. More expensive water heaters are often less costly to run than cheaper water heaters. To make a good investment, you’ll want to consider both the initial sticker price and the long-term costs of running your heater.
Tankless Water Heaters
According to the Department of Energy, most households in Washington still use storage tank hot water heaters to meet their residential needs. However, both tank and tankless hot water systems exist. Both may be fueled by gas, oil, propane, electric or solar energy.
Heat pump systems that use warm surrounding air to heat your water are also available. Tank systems hold hot water in a storage tank and keep it hot until you use it. Tankless "demand" systems heat water as it runs through your pipes, keeping energy costs down because water is heated only as it is needed.
One of the best advantages of an instant heating system is that you can heat up the amount of water you need and only when you need it. There is less energy wastage compared to heating a full tank of water, and reheating it again after it has cooled down. The tankless water heating system seems to be the best option as it significantly saves time and energy.
Tankless water heating systems effectively cancel out the standby heat losses made by storage type heaters. Once you open the hot tap, you simultaneously start the flow through a pipe. With electric tanks, water is heated through the heating element while gas-fired tankless models use a gas burner as the heating medium. With a tankless water heater installed in your Kent, Auburn or Seattle house, you are sure to have a constant supply of hot water without the need to store and waste energy.
Types of Water Heaters
Storage water heaters are the most common. Typical residential units range in size from 30 to 80 gallons, but smaller and larger tanks are available. Storage water heaters heat the water in the tank to the set temperature, turn off, then turn on and off as needed to keep it hot, ready for use. When you use hot water, the unit comes on to heat the incoming cold water that replaces what you use.
Tankless water heaters, also called instantaneous water heaters, do not store water. A gas burner or an electric element heats the water when there is a demand or a need for hot water. Hot water never runs out, as long as you don't exceed its designed "flow rate," and the temperature may be relatively low, around 105°F. Energy is saved, or more accurately, not wasted as there are almost no standby losses.
