It’s important never to ignore the warning signs that your water heater may be struggling. If you’ve noticed shorter showers, strange noises coming from your tank, rusty or odd-smelling water, or wet patches around the unit, these are all indicators that your system may be on its last legs — especially if it’s 10 years old or older.
Being proactive in choosing a new water heater before the old one fails ensures you can select the highest-performing and most efficient option available. At LG Jordan Oil & Gas, we sell and install top-rated tankless water heaters that will transform your home’s hot water experience.
A tankless water heater operates without a storage tank, providing hot water only when you need it. Here’s the process.
When you activate a hot water tap, shower, or appliance, the unit’s flow sensor detects the demand and determines the required amount. The igniter starts up, adjusting the flame intensity based on your needs. Cold water first travels through the secondary heat exchanger for preheating, then moves to the primary heat exchanger. The heated water flows into a buffer tank before reaching your fixture or appliance.
These systems deliver remarkable advantages to homeowners. Here are just a few benefits you’ll experience.
Tankless water heaters eliminate the need to “recover” depleted hot water supplies. These systems use flow rates to indicate how much heated water they can deliver on demand. Our team evaluates factors such as your home’s incoming water temperature and the number of hot water fixtures and appliances you have to recommend the ideal tankless water heater for your specific needs. With the right unit installed, you’ll never worry about your shower going cold because someone started the dishwasher.
The Department of Energy (DOE) reports that tankless systems operate up to 34% more efficiently than storage tank units. Traditional water heaters continuously heat and reheat unused water in the tank, creating what’s called standby loss. That means wasted energy that costs you money. Tankless systems eliminate these losses entirely, delivering substantial savings on your energy bills.
The average storage-tank water heater lasts only about 10 years before requiring replacement. Corrosive particles in the water typically degrade the tank over time. Tankless water heaters have significantly less exposure to these corrosive elements. With proper maintenance, a tankless water heater can last up to 20 years — double the lifespan of conventional units.
If you’re ready for a new water heater, we’d be happy to help you find the most efficient, high-performing option for your home. We can assist you in selecting a perfectly sized tankless water heater that meets your household’s needs and install it promptly with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
We can even help you qualify for rebates that lower your upfront costs, making the switch to tankless more affordable than you might think.
