Water Heater: a Friend in Winters

The onset of winters brings forth the unavoidable thought of how to take a shower every morning. Those who have an efficient water heater installed in their bathroom would not be perturbed by the chilly winters, but those whose bathroom is not facilitated with a water heater and electric immersion rod would be bothered by the thought of having an ill-facilitated bathroom in winters. A water heater is certainly a friend in those chilly times when the very thought of taking a bath freezes you. One of the popular and sought after water heater is the “tankless water heater”.

The tankless water heater is small and compact in size, thermostatically controlled and wastes less water in trying to facilitate hot water to a certain faucet. The main attraction of this type of a water geyser is that it saves energy thereby reducing your electricity bills. Moreover one can find two categories in the tankless water heater– electric and gas. For a gas tankless water heater, one would require combustion and gas line requirements. However when it comes to installation the electric tankless water heaters these are suitable as one can install them at the desired location or point of use and would also cut down your energy consumption. But how do these energy saving water heaters work?

The tankless water geysers are not dependant on a how water storage tank, rather they heat water as it passes thorough the medium of a heater unit. The tankless water heaters might come at the double of the price of a traditional water heater, but the initial cost appears less when compared to energy saving advantage. The traditional water geysers on the other hand continually heat and store hot water. Moreover the process of heating and reheating when one does not require it means unnecessary burning of energy, which is not the same with the tankless water heaters which heat water when it is required.

Therefore, the typical tank heater uses a tank for holding gallons of water whereas the tankless heater would not need require a water-holding device, since water is heated just as it flows out of the unit. One of biggest advantage of these heaters is that they have longer life than their counterparts and one can install them on the interior or exterior walls. However those who are environment-friendly and highly influenced by global warming can think of buying a solar water heater, as it uses solar power for heating purposes. The solar water geyser are more economical as one need not pay for the heating costs. Overall, all types of latest water heaters have their advantage and disadvantage, but it is up to the buyer to decide which one suits his/her budget and heating needs.

On demand water heater. Does it burn out if the water is turned off?

All electric house. I am considering adding on demand water heaters in two places. They cost at least twice as much as a tank type.

Does an on demand burn the heater elements if the water is turned off? My tank type does burn out the heater elements if the water level drops below the elements in the tank.

Also, is the on demand water heater repairable or would a person have to buy a new one in case of failure?

good question. if your turning off the water, best to turn off the hot water heater also.
all the point of use HW heaters I’ve worked on have a small quantity of water in them (4 oz) which stays 120 deg. as soon as there is a call for water, the cold water coming in triggers the stat to heat up the water.
