Why Go Tankless? The Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters

Switching to a tankless water heater is becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason! If you’re considering upgrading your water heating system, here are some key benefits to keep in mind:

The biggest advantage of switching to a tankless water heater is its ability to provide endless hot water. Unlike traditional water heaters that store a limited amount of heated water, tankless systems heat water on demand, ensuring you never run out—even during peak usage times. This is especially beneficial for larger homes and families that require a steady supply of hot water throughout the day. Whether you're running multiple showers, doing laundry, or washing dishes, a tankless water heater keeps up with your household’s needs without interruptions.
Switching to a tankless water heater isn’t just about endless hot water—it’s also a smart way to cut energy costs and increase efficiency. Unlike traditional water heaters that constantly heat and reheat water throughout the day, tankless systems only heat water when you need it. This means less energy waste and lower utility bills over time. With reduced energy consumption, a tankless water heater can save you a significant amount of money over its lifespan, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly choice for your home.
Installing a tankless water heater offers the additional benefits of efficiency and longevity. Constructed from commercial-grade copper or stainless steel, these units can last up to 20 years—twice the lifespan of a traditional tank-style water heater. Many manufacturers back their products with warranties of up to 12 years, further ensuring reliability and durability.
A key advantage of tankless water heaters is that they do not store water. This means the water used for bathing, laundry, and dishwashing is always fresh and free from the sediment or residue that often builds up in traditional tank-style water heaters.
Tankless water heaters are a great space-saving solution. Traditional tank-style water heaters can take up to 16 square feet of floor space, whereas tankless models are compact—about the size of a small suitcase—making them ideal for smaller homes or tight spaces.

As you can see, installing a tankless water heater offers numerous benefits. With their ease of use, efficiency, and significant energy cost savings, they are rapidly becoming the preferred choice over traditional water heaters. However, before making the switch, it’s important to consider some potential drawbacks. Below, we will discuss a few cons:

One potential drawback of installing a tankless water heater is the need to upgrade the gas line. Because tankless models require a higher gas volume to heat water instantly, they typically need a minimum ¾-inch gas line, whereas traditional tank-style heaters often use a ½-inch line. Upgrading the gas supply can add a significant cost to the installation process.
Venting requirements for tankless water heaters differ from those of traditional tank-style models. Most tankless units use 2-inch PVC piping or a concentric vent system, where a larger pipe is routed through the roof or wall. As a result, the existing venting from a traditional tank water heater cannot be reused, requiring additional modifications and installation costs.
While tankless water heaters generally have a longer lifespan and warranty compared to conventional tank-style models, proper maintenance is crucial to preserving these benefits. Without regular upkeep, their longevity and warranty coverage can be significantly reduced. To prevent mineral buildup in the heat exchanger, tankless units must be flushed annually with a descaling solution.
Another major drawback to consider is the cost. Replacing a traditional tank-style water heater with a tankless model is significantly more expensive, both in terms of the unit itself and the installation process. This higher upfront investment should be factored into your decision.

Now that we’ve covered the pros and cons, you can make an informed decision on whether to replace your traditional water heater with a tankless model or stick with your current system. At Yorkshire Plumbing, we prioritize providing homeowners with the information they need to choose the best option for their home.

FREQUENTLY ASKED WATER HEATER QUESTIONS

Which water heater is the best?

That is a difficult question to answer and can be answered several different ways. But, here at Yorkshire Plumbing we prefer to use American Standard for a conventional tank style water heater. When it comes to tankless, either a Rinnai or Navien are the preferred choice. The reasons behind these choices are based on several factors, including experience, feedback, and communication with the companies themselves. If you would like to know more about your water heater or our recommendation, give us a call.

Do I need to maintain a water heater?

Yes, you do need to maintain your water heater. Whether it’s a tankless or a tank, you will need to perform yearly maintenance to keep the unit working at its optimal level, and prolong its lifespan.

How long should a water heater last?

While it’s very true, “they don’t make em like they used to”, you should still get between 8 and 12 years from a tank style water heater. You should expect a longer life from a tankless and depending on the installation, and usage, you can get up to and over 20 years.
