Rooter Hero Plumbing of Orange County, California is helping homeowners take advantage of new plumbing technologies that can reduce residential energy consumption and help to save money. Tankless water heaters are designed to lower water usage, as well as energy usage when heating hot water. Residential water heaters have proven over and over again to provide a simple solution to energy usage in the average household. Unlike standard water heaters, tankless water heaters heat only a specific number of gallons at a time and hold those heated gallons until they are needed. They then provide hot water using high-powered jets. These water heaters are available in both gas and electric forms, although gas seems to be the most commonly used due to the fact that it can heat water more quickly.
"Tankless heaters offer a couple of benefits to homeowners," states Jessica Perrault, spokesperson for Rooter Hero Plumbing of Orange County. "They offer quite a substantial amount of savings because they are, on average, 20 percent more energy efficient than a traditional water heater. They also deliver hot water on demand, so there is an unlimited supply, meaning that you never run out of hot water and have to endure cold showers or baths."
The U.S. Department of Energy claims that heating water accounts for nearly 25 percent of all energy used in American homes. Even when hot water is not being pulled through a faucet, standard hot water tanks raise and maintain the temperature of standing water, which ultimately requires energy.
"Heat loss through stand-by water, which is what happens when the water heater continues to heat and then reheat water," states Perrault, "can use much more energy than many homeowners realize."
Smaller, tankless heaters, however, help to lower energy costs because they are not constantly reheating the same water over and over. The added benefit is that hot water is available whenever needed. Most of these smaller heaters can distribute around five to 10 gallons of heated water per minute, giving homeowners virtually as much hot water as they need at any given time. They also save space as they fit easily under most kitchen sinks or in utility closets instead of taking up an entire closed-space corner as traditional water heaters do.
