A tankless water heater works a lot differently than a regular tank water heater. Instead of keeping 40 to 50 gallons of water hot all day long, a tankless water heater only heats the water when you turn on a hot water faucet, so you're not paying to heat water you're never going to use. Since there's no tank to run out of hot water, you'll be able to take back to back showers without having to worry about the hot water running out.
Something to keep in mind is that a tankless water heater can only heat so much water at one time, so picking the right size is just as important as getting it installed correctly. If your tankless water heater is too small, it won't be able to keep up when you have a couple of showers and the dishwasher running at the same time. Our cold winters here in Illinois also make a difference, since the colder the water coming into your home is, the harder your tankless water heater has to work to heat it up.
Tankless water heaters also need a few things that tank water heaters don't. Gas tankless water heaters normally need a bigger gas line and different venting, and electric tankless water heaters need a good amount of power from your electrical panel. When we come out, we'll take a look at your home, let you know if a tankless water heater is a good fit, and let you know exactly what it'll take to get one installed!
Tankless water heaters aren't the right fit for every home, but if any of these sound like you, it might be a good time to think about going tankless.
If your hot water is running out a lot faster than you'd like, especially with back to back showers, a tankless water heater will be able to keep up as long as it's the right size.
Tankless water heaters hang on the wall, so they take up a lot less space in your basement or utility room than a tank water heater does.
If your water heater is getting close to the 8 to 12 year mark, you're most likely going to need a new one soon anyway, so it might be a good time to think about switching.
Tankless water heaters cost more upfront, but since they normally last a lot longer and use less energy, they'll save you money in the long run if you're planning on staying in your home.
If you're still not sure if a tankless water heater is right for your home, that's okay too! Feel free to give us a call at (309) 309-2554 and we're happy to go over all of your options with you.

Since a tankless water heater heats the water as you use it, you won't have to worry about running out of hot water, as long as it's the right size for your home.
Most tank water heaters only last around 8 to 12 years, but a tankless water heater can normally last up to 20 years with regular maintenance.
Tankless water heaters hang on the wall, which frees up the space your old tank was taking up.
A tank water heater keeps water hot all day long, even when you're not using it, but a tankless water heater only heats water when you need it, which can help lower your energy bills.
The last thing you want is for an old tank to rust through and leak all over your basement, and since a tankless water heater doesn't have a tank, that's not something you have to worry about.
A tankless water heater costs more to buy and install than a tank water heater, so it normally makes the most sense if you're planning on staying in your home for a while.
Since Peoria has very hard water, minerals build up inside a tankless water heater over time, so it'll need to be descaled about once a year to keep it working like it should.
Most homes are set up for a tank water heater, so switching to tankless might require some upgrades to your gas line, venting, or electrical.
If your tankless water heater is too small, it won't be able to keep up when you have multiple showers or appliances running at the same time.
Even gas tankless water heaters need electricity to work, so if your power goes out, you won't have hot water until it comes back on.
Something a lot of homeowners don't realize is that tankless water heaters need to be descaled about once a year, especially with the hard water here in Peoria. Over time, minerals build up inside the unit, and if they aren't cleaned out, your tankless water heater can start losing heating power, showing error codes, or even stop working altogether. Descaling is when we flush a cleaning solution through your tankless water heater to clear all of that buildup out, and it's one of the easiest ways to ensure your tankless water heater is able to last for a long time to come!
