Is this the right choice for your home?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2>A Tankless Water Heater Offers Many Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re right to be interested in tankless water heater installation. A tankless water heater offers numerous excellent benefits for the right house:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Lower energy costs: <\/strong>A tankless water heater only consumes fuel to heat water when there is a demand for it, such as someone turning on a hot water tap. Storage tank water heaters must regularly burn fuel to keep its supply of water heated, and that makes for higher power consumption\u2014and higher bills as well.<\/li><li><strong>Longer system life: <\/strong>Because a tankless water heater runs less often and doesn\u2019t deal with the stress of storing water in a tank, it averages a longer service life than a storage tank water heater. This means a bigger return on investment and more years to enjoy energy savings.<\/li><li><strong>Unlimited hot water: <\/strong>It\u2019s true that a tankless water heater will never run out of hot water\u2014because it always heats up more on demand. Although multiple taps on at the same time can overwhelm a tankless water heater, in most households a tankless system means never getting caught with a lukewarm shower in the morning because you got up later.<\/li><li><strong>Smaller size: <\/strong>Storage a problem in your home? A tankless water heater is small, and some units can even be mounted on the wall.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Tankless Isn\u2019t Always Ideal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no such thing as a perfect water heater for all homes, and this applies to the tankless water heater. A few things to keep in mind when considering a water heater installation (and our experts will keep these in mind as well) are your budget and your household\u2019s hot water usage. Tankless water heaters cost more to install, and although they pay back that cost over the years, an installation may not fit current budget plans. Large households where multiple hot water taps may be running at once might find a tank water heater more convenient. Our team can definitely find a storage tank water heater of the right size for those homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry yet about the final decision: our experts will guide you through the process to the best possible option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>\u201cWe Take Pride in Your Comfort\u201d at Atlantic Refrigeration &amp; Air Conditioning, Inc. <a href=\"\/contact\/service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Schedule water heater service today.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ll help you with more than installing a new water heater.
