Initially thought to be a clog, the problem was actually to do with the mechanics of our drain, and Chris was quick to figure that out and find a solution! Thanks for the quick troubleshooting and nice service Chris. Would recommend this business and their services." Ruby H.
Energy-Efficient Tankless Water Heaters
The industry measures the performance of tankless water heaters by temperature rise at a particular flow rate. This is why it’s so important to have an experienced plumber help with your buying decision. Temperature rise is the difference between the temperature of your water supply and the target temperature of your hot water. Flow rate is the liters per minute the system provides. If the flow rate is less than your household’s peak demand, you’ll experience low water pressure. Peak demand refers to the combined flow rate for all the fixtures and appliances you want to run simultaneously.
Another important consideration when scheduling tankless water heater installation services in Parksville is fuel type. Some appliances take fuel, while others use electricity. Electric tankless water heaters are only the more efficient option in certain scenarios, such as small homes with low hot water demand. For most homes, we recommend gas or oil. Which is best for you will depend on local availability and pricing.
The next point to consider is where you want to install the water heater. Outdoor installations are usually simpler and less expensive, but outdoor units require more maintenance. There’s also the risk of freezing to think about. Indoor units can be more expensive because you may need updates to your plumbing. As for where you install it, just about any wall is appropriate. Popular options include your existing water heater closet, attic, and garage.
You’ll want to note energy efficiency when comparing models, too. It can make a big difference in how much you pay each month and over the long term. The industry rates on-demand water heaters using the uniform energy factor (UEF). The higher the UEF, the more efficient the system. A high UEF can also make you eligible for rebates and grants.
Many of the systems with the highest UEF ratings are condensing units. Traditional on-demand water heaters are non-condensing. Non-condensing units release condensation into the atmosphere. Condensing units, on the other hand, trap that condensation and use that energy to assist in heating the water. This requires a second heat exchanger, which makes the system more expensive. It will take longer to recoup the investment, but it may be worthwhile over the life of the system. This is something your installer can help you determine.
Tankless water heaters provide many advantages:
- Cheaper operating costs
- Long equipment lifespan
- Robust warranty coverage
- Virtually unlimited hot water
- Lower household carbon footprint
