Looking for a way to save some money while making your home more energy efficient? Tankless water heaters are the easy, smart way to save the planet and your pocket book. 

How Do They Save Me Money?

Traditional tank-based water heaters keep approximately 40-50 gallons of water hot at all times even when you're not using it. That can be a huge energy drain especially for working professionals. In contrast, tankless water heaters heat water as you need it, greatly decreasing your energy bill every month.

For homes that use 41 gallons or less of hot water daily, alternative, or tankless, 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.

How Do They Save the Planet?

Most alternative water heaters have earned ENERGY STAR approval by meeting the strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy, by using less energy and preventing greenhouse gas emissions.

If you're interested in installing a tankless water heater, schedule an appointment with one of our expert Fairfax area plumbers by calling (703) 496-5016.  We can help you lower your energy and carbon footprint in no time!
