- Insulating older units
- Refilling the tank
- Adjusting the temperature to owner’s comfort
Should I Go Tankless?
Tankless water heaters heat water on-demand rather than maintaining a water storage reservoir. These new water heaters are efficient, they save space, and they ensure that your home always has exactly what it needs when it comes to hot water. Though tankless units are not necessarily the best choice for any home or situation, they do provide substantial benefits, including:
Because tankless units do not need to maintain a large quantity of hot water, the elements or burners are only active when you actually need hot water.
Tankless water heaters are, on average, between 20 and 60% more efficient than other models, making them much more cost-effective over the lifespan of these units.
Tankless water heaters are quite small and can help you to free up more usable space in your Madison home.
