Are Tankless Water Heaters Worth The Investment?

Today, customers in Minnesota and Wisconsin are seeking energy-efficient water heating systems for their homes. New tankless water heaters heat water at tap level and can prove to be a good investment for many households. Read on to decide if a tankless water heater is right for you.

How Tankless Water Heaters Work

The introduction of tankless water heaters generated a lot of initial enthusiasm since this technology does offer long term energy savings. Property owners don’t pay to produce large volumes of unused hot water. Yet our customers sometimes wonder whether conservation always justifies the higher initial cost of these products?

Customers don’t need to pay for the electricity or gas required to heat a huge water tank. Most tankless units fit snugly under sinks or against walls. They heat water directly before it leaves the faucet, resulting in lower utility bills over the long term.

A Great Multi-Unit Solution

Customers who own apartment buildings or motels sometimes discover significant benefits in installing this technology. First, tankless units require less space than conventional large tanks. When realty square footage proves expensive, these units often pay for themselves. Second, since a tankless water heater warms water shortly before it flows from the tap, the installation of these units minimizes energy waste. Over time, the use of multiple large water tanks in an apartment complex or a busy hotel adds up. 

Tankless water heaters help prevent residents from running out of hot water while conserving money in the long term. These units tend to last longer than conventional sizeable hot water tanks (in some cases operating for up to 20 or 25 years rather than 8 to 10 years). This longer anticipated lifespan may offset the drawback of the significantly higher product cost.

Not Ideal For Everyone

Yet not every customer finds tankless units cost-effective. First, installation sometimes necessitates expensive infrastructure changes to modify the plumbing system. This expense occurs in addition to other costs. Second, while tankless units lower utility bills over time, with average savings of $100 annually, today many families relocate frequently. Some homeowners never recoup their initial investment.

Were out the same day to look at my furnace, found that I could use a new one and they were able to install it the next day, good thing since it's been in single digits or below zero temps

Oh my goodness, we just had a new furnace and air conditioner installed. And it was done by professionals, Brad explained everything to me before they started and gave me a walkthrough after. The crew was very polite and jubilant even after hauling the new air conditioner to the backyard. Me and Brad got along great and his laugh had me laughing, what a nice guy. I hope other people call in you guys because it’s the best move ever for us.

Terrible service…I am supposed to be contacted for my 5 month service on Hvac and water softener… never contacted so I finally call and they will not get me for 3 months even though I have paid monthly for the service. Pipe is leaking and they still will not come out to service.

Kou, Matt and Paul did a fantastic job installing my new Amana furnace and AC! They explained everything, were very tidy and were just really nice people to work with too! Mike S was my sales associate and I had an excellent meeting with him to decide on what to buy. With the warranty and extras it was a good deal and they beat out Bonfe, Blue Ox and Standard. I will be recommending Aquarius from now on!
