Remodeling 101: Tankless Water Heaters

Construction PlumberIt’s my job to look at property. I do it all day, most every day and I see a lot of homes throughout SLO County. One of the first things I look at in a home is the plumbing and hot water heater. Now, as I meet with buyers and sellers throughout SLO County I see more and more Tankless Water Heaters that are not only being installed in many new homes, but they are a popular choice for remodels. If you are near the end of the life of your water heater, you should consider installing a tankless water heater because it can add value to your home when you are ready to sell.

A tankless water heater is just that – it heats water directly without the use of a storage tank. It’s energy efficient because it heats the water only as you need it – it’s not keeping the water hot and stored that way until you need it, like a traditional water heater.

There are several makes and models out there, but since I get asked about tankless water heaters a lot, I thought I would pass this article along. Most everyone I have spoken to enjoys the benefits and energy savings of this type of on-demand water heating system. Here is what you need to know about instantaneous water heaters:
