Any homeowner using only tankless water heaters ??

Question

I currently have like a 60 gallon Rheem hot water tank, but I was wondering if anybody out there uses only tankless water heaters for each location where hot water is needed in the house. If yes, how do you like it, and also what do you for the washing machine? Thanks for any feedback about this.

Answer 1

i install tankless water heaters well actually both. i will guarantee if you bought a medium sized tankless if you install it in a 2 bathroom house you will not run out of hot water even if you turned every faucet on at once.what a tankless is is a small boiler but the system employs a water circulating system that constantly moves the hot water Thur the system by means of a small circulating water pump.kind of like the way your cars water pump works so when you open a tap the cold water enters the boiler and immediately is hot water and the pump makes sure that the hot water is always at the faucet OS soon as you open the valve

I own a condo in Florida and 15 years ago I had a electric tankless installed and since then as President of the Assoc. I replaced a 80gal. laundry rooms watertank with 1 unit made to accommodate 3 machines a 3 sloptanks and since then 16 unit owners have switched. We saved money and never had a problem and you can turn the hot water on and come back in a week and it's still hot.

once you're in a apartment, do you at cutting-edge have an electric powered or gas water heater? you want gas for tankless i believe. In my very last homestead, we had a 50 gallon electric powered tank that the label suggested used $40 of juice a month at our value & temp putting. We investigated a tankless and that could want to have value on the fringe of $2000 which includes each and each and every of the plumbing transformations. So if it used purely $15 nicely worth of gas a month, we may save $35 a month and it would want to be paid for 50 seven months - if it did not placed on out. We determined we beloved the silent, basic electric powered. Now in a apartment the same area problem you've, and a 30 gallon electric powered tank. however it has no difficulty providing adequate warm water to fill our massive jacuzzi bath - so something is misguided with yours.

Answer 4

if your talking each location that can get expensive up front costs.

what i say is you get either and electric or gas unit (which ever you can accommodate) and have a re-circulating pump installed on the furthest water using fixture (accessible of course) you have, that way in the long run you are saving heating costs by not wasting water by having to wait for hot water and heating any mass of water which will just be wasted.

however this investment is what i have done

Answer 5

I have a whole house tank-less water heater, I love it, I have 3 kids of course we all take showers and a tank water heater always left somebody cold, so we went tank-less, and eliminated that problem we also own a hot tub and usually fill it with hot water so it doesn't take so long to warm up, we have never been left cold with our tank-less. My opinion their worth every penny!

Answer 6

we have a tankless water heater in our boiler,they are quite good and all the pipes are linked so no problem with the washing machine

I was staying with my Aunt this past November, and she put in this unit. I loved it because I never ran out of hot water and her electric bill was cheaper because her home was set up for propane. They all think that it is a great product and it takes up very little space.
