ASAP Drain Guys &amp;\u00a0Plumbing is your San Diego expert for water heaters, and tankless water heaters in particular. If it\u2019s time to replace your old heater, it\u2019s the best time to switch to tankless.<\/p>\n\n<p>Traditional home water heaters use a large tank, usually 30 to 100 gallons, and have a thermostat to keep that water at a set temperature. When you use hot water it draws from the tank and is replaced by cold water. The heater doesn\u2019t turn on until the tank temperature drops. If you\u2019re using a lot of water, its temperature will drop, perhaps too low, and it can take a while for the tank to heat back up.<\/p>\n\n<p>Although they\u2019ve actually been around quite a while, \u201cnew\u201d tankless units use a high-powered heater to warm as it flows through. It heats only the water you use, when you use it. As we\u2019re about to see, there are numerous tankless water heater benefits, including tankless water heater tax credits as well as tankless water heater installation and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-bne-callout bne-callout\" style=\"background: #f5f5f5;\">\n<div class=\"callout-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center\" style=\"display: flex;\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column text-center text-md-left\">\n<h3>Tankless Water Heater?<\/h3>\n<p>Call Now for Prompt Service or Installation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis: 33.33%;\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button btn-block btn-lg\"><a style=\"--text-color: #fff;--bg-color: var(--theme-default-btn-color);\" class=\"wp-block-button__link bne-block-btn has-default-text-color has-default-bg-color\" href=\"tel:7607448489\">(760) 744-8489<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Never run out of hot water<\/li>\n<li>Water is always the same temperature<\/li>\n<li>Lasts 5 to 10 years longer than traditional water heaters<\/li>\n<li>More efficient, using 20 to 50% less energy (that\u2019s as much as 10% off your total utility bill!)<\/li>\n<li>Take less space, can be put under cabinets for instant hot water<\/li>\n<li>They\u2019re a great back-up for solar, and in some cases can even increase your solar hot water system\u2019s efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>There are a few factors you should know about besides the tankless water heater benefits. A tankless heater can cost as much as 3 times that of a traditional water heater and have a maximum flow rate. Also, at very slow flows (typically around 1\/4 that of a low-flow showerhead) the heater doesn\u2019t turn on.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installation<\/h3>\n\n<p>Electric water heaters are cheaper to install, but more expensive to operate so you\u2019ll need to think about those costs combined when choosing the energy source. Energy guide stickers are a great help with this. Gas tankless heaters often require special vent tubing, and a whole-house unit may require a larger gas line. Installing a new tankless heater at the same location as the old traditional one can reduce installation labor costs to about the same as a regular replacement.<\/p>\n\n<p>It\u2019s crucial that a tankless unit is properly sized to meet the flow rates of all hot water uses that may occur at the same time. Our\u00a0experts can help you choose a unit that\u2019s just right for your situation.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tankless Water Heater Podcast<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio src=\"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/asap-tankless.mp3\" controls=\"controls\"><\/audio>\n<figcaption>Listen to Our Podcast about Tankless Water Heater Benefits Compared to Traditional<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-pretty\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-image-13299\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tankless-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"tankless water heaters ASAP Drain Guys &amp; Plumbing\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tankless-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tankless-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tankless-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tankless-1440x1920.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.asapdrainandplumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tankless.jpg 1530w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintenance<\/h4>\n\n<p>Tankless heaters should have annual maintenance. That\u2019s true for traditional heaters as well, but the special characteristics of tankless units make it even more important. First, there\u2019s a filter screen that needs to be cleaned from time to time. Also, tankless heaters are more sensitive to scaling, which lowers their efficiency and leads to break downs. An annual flushing and descaling is needed, and doing it right requires many steps using special chemicals and equipment.<\/p>\n\n<p>But don\u2019t worry, with inexpensive water heater maintenance, these units are highly reliable and last 5 to 10 years longer than traditional heaters.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About ASAP Drain Guys &amp;\u00a0Plumbing<\/h5>\n\n<p>We\u2019re your San Diego experts in tankless heaters from Navien, Rinnai, and Takagi, for maintenance as well as installation.
