Tankless Water Heater St Petersburg
Energy bills across Florida have been steadily increasing over the last few years; a state with such a hot and humid climate is going to need constant cooling and air conditioning to keep homes and businesses comfortable. Another gigantic energy cost people don’t consider is constant warm water your home needs to generate for its appliances and fixtures. Since Florida is so warm, people automatically assume A/C is the lion’s share of the energy bill, but the cost associated with heating water is the second highest on the tab! Most homes and businesses in Florida warm their water using conventional tank based solutions. These water heaters operate by working to fill the tank to capacity, usually somewhere in the range of 40-80 gallons of water. Once this tank is full of warm water, it stores it so that it is ready whenever you need to take a warm shower or run a load of laundry. However, there is a huge downside to this process, the water heater has to work to keep the water stored in the tank at the temperature the water heater is set to. There can be considerable lulls in your home’s hot water usage, while the hot water might be constantly cycled at night when everyone is home taking showers and using the water, during the day this is completely different. There may be periods of up to six or seven hours where your hot water is not touched at whatsoever, all the while your heater will be spending excess energy to ensure that this water is kept ready for use. All this excess energy adds up over the course of a month, by the time your energy bill comes in the extra water heating costs can be exponential! Thankfully, modern innovation has figured out a solution to this: tankless water heaters!

How Does A Tankless System Work?
Tankless systems operate extremely similarly to conventional tank solutions. There is an in-line for cold water, which fills the tankless system. Either a gas-heated or electricity based system is used to heat the water in the tankless system, afterwhich more cold water is brought in from the drip pipe. The cold water forces the hot water out of the heater, where it travels down the hot water line into the appliance or fixture, ready for use! By heating water on demand and providing it only when your appliances or fixtures need it you avoid unnecessary energy consumption required to keep the water in the tank warm and ready for use. The only downside to these systems is their production rate, tankless water heaters can produce water at a rate around 2-5 gallons per minute. While this is fine for most small households, it can put a strain on the heater if it needs to work for a larger household. An easy way around this is to install two complimentary point-of-use systems that work in unison to supply your home with hot water when needed.
