Save Money and Energy with a Tankless Gas Water Heater


Those who are considering replacing their water heater would be wise to consider getting a tankless gas water heater. These types of water heaters have a number of different advantages over traditional water heaters.

Some of the advantages of tankless gas water heaters include the fact that they save energy because you are not constantly keeping a tank full of water hot, whether it is needed at the time or not. Water is heated just when it is needed. This not only saves energy, it also saves you money since you are not paying for all the extra energy involved. Many times water is saved as well since you don’t have to run the water to wait for hot water to come out, it is instantaneous. This means these heaters are much more environmentally friendly.

There are a few different types of these heaters available, depending on how much water you need to heat. You can get one heater for each area of the house, or you can get one for the whole house. For example, the Bosch AquaStar 1600H-NG (Natural Gas) water heater heats water for one shower and costs around $700. For those who want a whole house water heater, the Bosch AquaStar 2700ES-LP (Propane) water heater will heat enough water for two to three bathrooms and costs about $1,275.

Depending on whether or not you prefer natural gas or propane, there are a number of different models available. These water heaters are smaller than water heaters with tanks, and can hang on a wall. There does need to be proper venting however. You don’t want to have any unhealthy fumes in the house. If venting is a problem in the areas where you would like to put your water heater(s), you can also opt for an electrical model, as these are available as well.

Because of all the advantages of these models, it would be a good idea to look into them before you decide which type of water heater you would like to get for your home. Tankless gas water heaters might be a bit more expensive than the alternative, but you need to take into consideration the savings you will have on your energy bill when you compare the costs, not just the price of the heater itself.
