If you have an older water you want to replace, consider a tankless water heater in Davie, FL. Bamboo Plumbing plumbing company in Davie, FL can install a tankless hot water heater that you never have to worry about running out. On-demand systems cost a bit more initially, but there are often energy incentives to help with that. These systems also cost less over the life of the equipment. That’s because they have a longer lifespan and consume significantly less energy.
Tankless Hot Water Heater Solutions
You have the choice of either an electric or fuel-burning tankless water heater. Fuel-burning systems are a bit more expensive initially but generally more cost-effective long term. Natural gas is ideal, and propane and oil are the alternatives if you lack access. Electric systems are usually only cost-efficient in smaller households that use a low amount of hot water.
Another consideration is the capacity of your new tankless water heater. Sizing on-demand systems is trickier because you have to account for all the fixtures and appliances you’ll use at the same time. All appliances and fixtures need a certain flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM). If the total GPM isn’t high enough, the system will provide low hot water pressure.
Our installer will also help you size your system based on temperature rise. Rise is the difference between the temperature of your water supply and hot water. Manufacturers generally rate their systems for a certain GPM at a particular temperature rise.
With tankless systems, you also have the option to purchase more capacity than you need daily. Why would you do this? More capacity lets you meet added demand during the holidays or when adult children are home from school. Doing that isn’t practical with tank systems because you incur an additional daily cost. With tankless systems, you incur the cost up front and only when you use the extra capacity.
A tankless hot water heater provides many advantages over a traditional system:
Longer lifespan
Quieter operation
Reduced carbon footprint
Lower water-heating costs
Smaller installation footprint
We also encourage homeowners upgrading to a tankless system to identify their water hardness. Hard water can significantly increase operating costs and reduce equipment lifespan. With moderately hard or harder water, you can expect to descale the system once or twice a year. Alternatively, you can opt for an add-on. An anti-scale device can avoid limescale buildup in the water heater. A water softener is a whole-home alternative.
What about a recirculating pump? Many modern systems now include them. A pump helps to reduce any hot water delay. A shorter delay is more convenient and makes tankless systems easier to size for larger homes. It also avoids the cold-water sandwich effect. That’s where you get hot water then cold water then hot again.
