Portland Tankless Water Heater

Unlike Portland tankless water heaters, traditional water heaters uses a large tank to store anywhere from 20 to 80 gallons of water at a time. The water within is continuously warmed to a set temperature, and while the energy used to keep the water warm is dispensed at a slow rate, these tanks squander a lot of resources to maintain temperatures throughout the day.  Which is a real waste, since you don’t need the hot water when you’re at work for 8 to 10 hours, not to mention the time you’re sleeping. However, some of the traditional water heater tanks that are heavily insulated  are more efficient and can reduce standby heat loss, but those that use gas or oil to heat up water lose some of that efficiency because of their required venting.

Portland Tankless Water Heater Benefits

With Portland tankless water heaters, as water flows through the device, a heating element — either a gas burner or an electrical element — warms it up. As soon as the hot water faucet is turned off, the heating element shuts down. Without a tank of water constantly warming, standby heat loss is eliminated.  Portland tankless water heater systems can cut 10 to 20 percent off your water-heating bill.

And depending on which model of Portland tankless water heater you purchase, and what size storage tank you have now, you could save anywhere from 11% to 69% off your hot water heating bill. How? Most homes use hot water for a cumulative total of about one hour per day, yet they typically keep 40 or 50 gallons (oftentimes more) of water hot 24 hours a day. Having a system that eliminates the storage and heats water only as you use it can dramatically reduce your energy consumption.  If you feel that Portland tankless water heaters are right for you, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
