A Tankless Water Heater for Your Germantown, MD Home

Chances are you have the traditional kind of water heater:  one with a storage tank that refills itself as needed and keeps the water hot, even when you’re not using it.

Now, Your 1 Plumber can help home owners in Germantown, Monrovia and surrounding communities enjoy the many benefits of a “tankless” water heater…one that offers a number of unique benefits:

• Tankless heaters never run out of hot water – they can literally run all day long if necessary and they will never stop producing hot water since they heat water instantly on demand.

• Since hot water is not stored, tankless water heaters generally handle hard water minerals and sediments much better than conventional tanks. This makes them far less likely to leak or rupture, and able to maintain efficiency throughout their whole lifecycle. Accordingly, many have much longer warranties.

• Tankless water heaters are about the size of a briefcase (electric units) – they save valuable floor space that can be used for storage etc. especially in condos and apartments.

• Sophisticated tankless heaters allow you to set the ongoing water temperature to a much more reasonable and safer temperature, closer to the actual temperature you will use the water at, thereby reducing risk of scalding. According to the US. Department of Energy, for each 10°F reduction in water temperature, you can save between 3%-5% in energy costs.

• Tankless water heaters come in gas and electric models…and Your 1 Plumber can help you choose which type is right and more practical for you.

Expected Cost Savings

While tankless water heaters typically cost more than storage tank units, you’ll enjoy lower operating costs and extended system life.

• Tankless water heaters can reduce your water heating costs by as much as 50%!  They heat entirely on demand only when hot water is needed. Since there is no hot water storage, thermal heat loss is almost completely eliminated.

• Plus, the average tank-less system has a “shelf life” of greater than 20 years, vs. 10-15 years for a storage tank system.  And that results in even greater long-term savings.

According to the U.S. Government Department of Energy:

“For homes that use 41 gallons or less of hot water daily, demand water heaters can be 24%–34% more energy efficient than conventional storage tank water heaters. They can be 8%–14% more energy efficient for homes that use a lot of hot water—around 86 gallons per day. You can achieve even greater energy savings of 27%–50% if you install a demand water heater at each hot water outlet.”

Point-of-Use and Whole-House Models

Another big plus for tankless water heaters is that they come in whole-house and single-source models.   Need more hot water for your main shower?  We can fix that.  Washing machine not producing enough hot water when you need it most?  We can take care of that, too.
