Advantages of Having Instant/On Demand Hot Water

By: Rob Parker

Most of us are familiar with the traditional ways in which hot water is provided to a home. A holding tank located somewhere in the house keeps the water hot (or warm) and depending on size delivers the water through pipes to the faucet. This is a fairly inefficient system, but thanks to tankless water heating technology it may be that this method of providing households with the hot water necessary for bathing, cooking, washing, and so on may be in its last days. Let’s take a look at some of the advantages that access to instant hot water has for a household.

No more risks when you are checking the temperature! Those of us use to a tank hot water system habitually check the temperature of the hot water coming out of the faucets with our hands in order to see if it truly is running hot. These checks can and have resulted in burns to many people. With instant hot water, there is no need to check; you know that the water is running hot right away! Moreover, you can set the temperature of your water supply so that it is guaranteed never to run too hot!

You can save money! One of the biggest pitfalls of hot water provided through a tank is that the water must be heated in the tank in order to get it hot. A full tank will likely be reheated continuously throughout the day, and that can result in high-energy costs. Instant hot water means big savings when it comes to the cost of energy, since the water isn’t stored hot.

You’ll never run out! Finally, we all know the inconvenience that running out of hot water is. If you have company, a large family, or simply want to do the dishes or the laundry while you have a bath or a shower, you will find that with a tank water system you quickly run out of hot water, resulting in a shortened, far less pleasant bathing experience. On demand hot water means you never have to deal with this inconvenience again!

Using on demand, or instant, hot water through the use of a tankless water heating system has advantages in several areas, including financial, personal safety, and convenience. It just makes a lot more sense for households to use this type of technology now that it is available
