Tankless Hot Water Heaters: The Little Appliance That Could!

Tankless hot water heaters are about to transform the plumbing industry. I realize that's a bold statement, but right now they're like the little train that could: little, underestimated, and completely confident in their ability. Their manufacturers know that it's only a matter of time before every home and business in North America will demand the little appliance that can.

Did you know that the government endorses them?

Even Uncle Sam has recognized the many advantages of these energy-efficient appliances and encourages homeowners to purchase them. Compliant households can earn a tax credit of 30% or $300 against the purchase and installation of a new unit. For many people this is enough of a reason to purchase a tankless hot water heater. Plus, electric tankless models don't require venting, this saves water and electricity when installed closer to the bathrooms and kitchen.

Go "Green" and gain cost savings

One of the biggest opportunities for improvement can be found in the bathroom or kitchen or wherever else hot water flows freely. This applies to businesses and homes a like. Just realize that whether the water is being heated for a restaurant dishwasher or the shower at home, money can be saved with tankless hot water heaters.

Here's how "on demand" hot water works and why it saves money:

-By avoiding stand-by heat loss and taking less time to heat, the "on demand" hot water simply takes less time to heat and avoids losing the heat that traditional tank water heaters lose through their walls. You can save as much as $100-$300 a year for a typical family

-The approximately 20-year life expectancy of an "on demand" unit is double the traditional water heater

-You have more time to reap the benefits of your investment

-Only when you need hot water does the "on demand" unit run

More $$$ is saved with the fuel efficiency

Fuel costs including natural gas, propane, and electricity are steadily increasing. As costs go up, "on-demand" efficiency creates even greater savings. Are you aware that as much as 30% home's energy is used to heat water?

Main point here is: The greater energy efficiency and lower operational costs make Skye tankless hot water heaters a smart choice for both cost conscious and green consumers alike. Space saving, smaller units mean less energy required. These little space saving units are also power savers with some electric models operating at 99% efficiency, according to the US Department of Energy. (That might be why the Government gives an incentive to people to purchase them and use them?)

Compare that to the 58% rating given to some traditional storage tank heaters. Like the little train that could, the tankless space-saving units chug away at what they do using less energy resources and a smaller footprint to complete their task.

Bonus benefits for homeowners and businesses include:

-Easily repairable

-Convenient smaller space required

-Hot water is endless

-New models have USB ports for future connection of energy smart grid systems

-New operating software can be uploaded and you can download usage data for diagnostic purposes

Stop and just think about this for a minute...natural fuel resources continue to climb, and energy-efficient appliances are obviously one way to counter-act such rising expenses. While saving money, you also get an "endless and continuous supply" of hot water for you dishwasher, showers, hot tubs, and even the deep abyss of whirlpools.

Kinda' makes it a no-brainer, don't you think?

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, ahhhh the quiet, unnoticeable hum of the tankless water heater.
