Tankless water heaters offer all the modern convenience of hot water without the high energy costs associated with constantly heating a 40+ gallon tank of water.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIf you\u2019re interested in learning more about tankless water heaters and whether one of these systems is an option in your home, call Service Doctors today. We provide professional tankless water heater installation in the Washington, DC area and would be happy to discuss your options with you.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Tankless Water Heating Technology<\/h2>\n<p>\nTraditional tank water heaters work by heating a large tank of water to a preset temperature. The water is then delivered to fixtures when you turn on a hot water tap. As the tank empties, new water is added and heated. Whether you use the water right away or not, your water heater still uses energy to heat the water, costing you money.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWith a tankless water heater, you don\u2019t have to waste that energy. Instead of heating water continuously, tankless units are installed on the water pipes leading to your fixtures. When you turn on a hot water faucet, the heating unit turns on, using its heating elements to instantly heat only the water you need, when you need it.\n<\/p>\n<h2>On\u2013Demand Water Heater Benefits<\/h2>\n<p>\nWhile tankless water heating is currently the popular trend, there are some tradeoffs to keep in mind when considering taking advantage of this technology. Tankless water heaters generally cost more to install initially and if you use a lot of hot water, the system may not always keep up with your demand. There are varying sizes of tankless units, however, so most homes can find a solution to meet their needs. You might also consider installing multiple units.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWhile it is important to consider the upfront costs, it\u2019s important to remember the savings you\u2019ll gain over the life of your tankless unit. The monthly energy savings quickly offsets the cost of the new system. In fact, most tankless water heaters pay for themselves in within 5 years.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Tankless Water Heater Experts<\/h2>\n<p>\nIf you select a tankless system after reviewing your hot water heater options with Service Doctors, we can have your new unit installed in no time.
