Have you ever run out of hot water while taking a shower? It’s very frustrating and can be terribly inconvenient at times. To solve this problem, many people in Chicago are getting rid of their old water tanks and installing tankless water heater systems. Let’s check out three good reasons to buy one today.

On Demand Heated Water

When you decide to go tank-less you’ll have all the hot water you want, as soon as you turn on the tap. There is no need to wait 30 minutes or longer after someone else takes a shower or uses the washing machine.

Save Money on Utilities

There is little chance gas or electric rates in the Chicago area are going down any time soon. A tankless water heater can save you a lot of money on your utility bills and here is why:

A standard water tank holds from 30 to 50 gallons of water. This water must be kept constantly hot, so you pay a lot of money to heat water you are not using. Your hot water is waiting in storage most of the time. Tankless heaters only draw energy while you actually use the hot water. In fact, most of the time they are not working and running up your utility bill. This savings can be substantial over time.

No Tank Leaks

As hot water tanks age, glass linings become brittle and may start to crack. If this happens, you could be dealing with a major leak in your home and since many heaters are behind walls or special cabinets, you might not be aware of the leak until it has saturated your floors or walls. Tankless heaters have no tanks to crack or leak.
