FAQs
What is a tankless water heater, and how does it work?
A tankless water heater, also known as an on-demand heater, heats water only when you turn on the tap or appliance. Instead of storing hot water in a tank, it relies on high-powered burners or heating elements to quickly heat the water passing through the unit. This approach eliminates standby energy losses and ensures you’ll have a steady supply of hot water whenever you need it.
How does a tankless water heater installation differ from a traditional tank-style heater install?
Unlike traditional tank-style heaters that require space to store a large cylinder of heated water, tankless systems are compact and mount on the wall. They require adequate ventilation if gas-fueled, or proper electrical capacity if electric. Because of the higher BTU (gas) or electrical demand, you may need upgrades to your gas line or circuit breaker, but once installed, they provide efficient, on-demand hot water.
Is a tankless water heater suitable for Cleveland’s climate?
Yes. Tankless systems can perform well even in cooler climates, like Cleveland’s. During winter, these units are designed to deliver hot water efficiently despite incoming cold water temperatures. However, it’s important to choose a unit sized to handle the coldest water temperature and your household’s peak hot water demands.
Will installing a tankless water heater help me reduce my energy bills?
Often, switching to a tankless heater can lower your energy costs because you’re not continuously re-heating a large volume of water in a storage tank. Energy usage is reduced since the heater only operates when you draw hot water. While initial installation costs can be higher than a traditional unit, many homeowners find that long-term energy savings make it a worthwhile investment.
Do I need to upgrade my gas or electrical system to support a new tankless water heater?
It depends on the existing setup of your home and the requirements of your chosen tankless model. Gas-powered heaters typically need a larger gas supply line and proper venting to operate safely. Electric units may require a dedicated high-amperage circuit breaker. A professional plumber or electrician can assess your current infrastructure and advise you on the necessary upgrades.
What kind of maintenance does a tankless water heater require in Cleveland?
A tankless water heater generally requires periodic flushing to remove scale buildup, especially if your home has hard water. Many manufacturers recommend doing this maintenance once a year. Additionally, having your installer or a qualified technician review venting, gas connections, and electrical connections annually is a good practice to ensure ongoing efficiency and safety.
