Five Reasons To Install A Commercial Tankless Water Heater
When it comes times to replace the water heater in your business, consider upgrading from the old tank model to a newer tankless water heater. There are many benefits that accompany this upgrade.
1. Reduced Costs
It generally costs less to operate a tankless water heater as compared to a tank model. This is in part because there is no holding tank of water that must be kept heated. Further, without heat won't emanate from the tank and into the building, which can lead to increased cooling costs in regards to the HVAC system.
2. More Space
For many businesses, storage space is at a premium. Being able to free up the room in the utility rooms where the hot water tanks are installed could provide you with the additional storage and space that your business requires. Tankless heaters can be installed in small cabinets at the point of delivery, such as beneath the sink or in the small supply cabinets in the room.
3. Dependability
Tank heaters are more prone to break downs for a variety of reasons. Tanks can spring leaks, which not only damages the heater but can also lead to severe water damage to the building. Not only is the damage an issue, but the lack of hot water can also be a nuisance for staff and clients. A tankless heater is more dependable and less prone to major repair issues if it is properly maintained.
4. Eco-Friendly
One benefit you don't want to overlook is eco-friendliness. Tankless heaters use less energy and waste less water, compared to tank models. Their efficiency sometimes qualifies them for local and national rebate programs, which can help minimize your installation costs. Further, if you are striving for LEED rating or LEED credits for your building, tankless heaters can help you achieve it.
5. Serves Demand
You don't want your staff or clients to be frustrated by a lack of hot water, especially if you run a business like a gym where hot showers are a must. Tank heaters have a finite amount of water. They may require an hour or longer to reheat the water if the tank is emptied through normal use. Tankless heaters can provide ongoing hot water with no need to reheat a tank, although you may need to install multiple tankless heaters if you have several points of use throughout your building.
