With the winter months approaching, many of you are considering purchasing a tankless
hot water heater. For those unfamiliar with this system, here is a basic description.
This unit allows the water to heat only when needed. Here is an example: When you
turn on your hot water tap, the cold water enters the heater and as the water flows
through the heating element, the temperature rises. Therefore, when the hot water
is turned off, the system automatically shuts down. This is a very cost effective
unit to have in your home.

Ranging in price from $400 to over $1000, the tankless hot water heater can save
you approximately 25% to 30% to replace your gas heater; 40% to 50% to replace your
electric heater. This translates to a $200.00 savings.

Tankless hot water heaters were designed to replace the old tank-type heater you
have in your home. There are several models to choose from, and prices vary as
well. The most popular units are the Aqua Star, Bosch, and Takagi Series. These
units are shipped the same day and offer either propane or natural gas. There is
another benefit to purchasing these heaters, and that is you may be eligible for
a $300 Energy Tax Credit by the Federal Government. Note: Bosch and Takagi Heaters
meet the requirements of this tax credit.

Needless to say, if the experts are correct about this being a brutal winter, you
may want to think about purchasing a tankless hot water heater, which can benefit
you financially and comfortably as well. Check out the aforementioned companies
online to determine which heater is more suited for your needs.
