Do you often find that you set the laundry and then go take a shower? Or shower while the dishwasher is running in the kitchen?
If you’ve been surprised by cold water when you stepped under the shower or have run out of hot water just as you were rinsing your hair, it’s time to get your home’s hot water situation under control.
Why Do I Keep Running Out of Hot Water?
Most homes in the greater Princeton, NJ area have traditional water heaters that consist of a large tank that stores hot water. Not only are these water heaters energy hogs since they constantly use some kind of fuel or electricity to keep all that water in the tank hot, but the tank also limits the amount of hot water that is available at one time.
This is why it’s nearly impossible to use hot water in two places at once and why you always seem to run out of hot water so quickly. Fortunately, there is something you can do to stop the cycle of cold showers or only using hot water for one thing at a time.
Tankless Water Heater Installation
A tankless water heater, also sometimes referred to as an on demand water heater, is unlike typical water heaters. Since it doesn’t have a tank, it doesn’t have to keep a tank full of water hot all the time which saves energy and lowers your monthly utility bill. A tankless water heater provides on demand hot water, so cold water is heated only when you need it and turn the hot water tap on. In general, on demand water heaters provide hot water at the rate of two to five gallons per minute which means you’re able to get hot water whenever and wherever you need it.
Tankless water heaters are perfect for households that use hot water in multiple places at once or are frequently running out of hot water with a traditional tank water heater as they have to wait for the tank to fill back up and heat up again. In addition to being extremely energy efficient and convenient, tankless water heaters also save space because they easily mount on a wall and take up significantly less room than a standard water heater.
