Specializing in tankless water heater repair and installation in Clearwater, St. Petersburg and throughout Pinellas County

Tankless water heaters are a relatively new way to efficiently conserve money and space while providing hot water efficiently. They come with lots of benefits and have few drawbacks. The tankless water heater specialists at Clearwater Plumbing will help you decide if tankless water heaters are right for you.

The many advantages of tankless water heaters

• Save energy – Tankless water heaters expand you energy saving in the long run by only activating when a need for hot water arises as opposed to traditional water heaters with tanks. Regular tank water heaters suffer from “standby loss” in which they must reheat water that has already been reheated.

• Safety – Because tankless water heaters do not store water internally, there is a significant reduction in risk of water damage. The only water in the heater, is the water passing through for usage. Tankless water heaters control the water temperature heated to a point of precision, preventing unwelcome shocks of painful hot water.

• Save Space – Tankless water heaters take up less space than conventional water heaters due to absence of tank. These heaters can be installed in many places throughout the building or household and some can even be stationed on the wall.

• Save Money  – While tankless water heaters may be a little more costly initially, compared to traditional water heaters, the long-term cost savings and energy conservation is significant. Due to their high level of efficiency, tankless water heaters quickly pay for themselves in savings. Homeowners find tankless water heaters especially desirable, as they heat water on demand, opposed to continually,  conserving energy while providing ample hot water.

Tankless and hybrid water heaters offer increased energy savings and have become a popular alternative to traditional tank heaters. Clearwater Plumbing specializes in tank, tankless and hybrid water heater sales and service.

Tankless water heaters require regular maintenance

Tankless water heaters should be serviced at least once a year, especially in areas of hard water, like Pinellas County, and throughout Florida. Over time, the minerals in water build up on the heat exchanger, obstructing water flow and causing the heater to work harder to heat the water. This can shorten the lifespan of the heater. And, it can increase energy bills because the heater is using more energy to heat the water. If the water heaters temperature is set too high, the risk of scale buildup increases and the mineral buildup can cause damage to the heat exchanger which is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.  Regular descaling is recommended by a licensed tankless water heater repair plumber at Clearwater Plumbing.
