Is It Time To Go Tankless?

Like other home comfort equipment, water heating technology has made
huge strides in recent years. One of the most popular advancements is the
rise of tankless water heaters. Known for their compact design and impressive
efficiency, these systems have become a favorite for many Spring Brook Ice &
Fuel customers.

How Does a Tankless Water Heater Work?

Rather than preemptively heating water to fill a large storage tank, a tankless
water heater heats your water on demand, meaning you can say goodbye to
running out of hot water!

Say you were to take a shower — instead of pulling stored hot water from a tank, a tankless system runs cold
water through a heat exchanger, rapidly heating the water as it passes through, providing you a virtually endless
flow of hot water within seconds.

Is Tankless Right for Your Home?

When deciding whether to upgrade your home water heater, there are always a few important factors to
consider. To help you make the right decision for your family, we’ve put together a list of tankless water heating
pros and cons:

Benefits of a Tankless Hot Water Heater

• Reduced Utility Bills and Increased Energy Efficiency
  Since a tankless water heater only heats water on demand, you’re no longer paying for the standby costs associated with the storage of hot water.
• Extended Lifespan
  While a standard storage water heater has a lifespan of 8-12 years, a tankless system can last up to 20 years!
• Less Maintenance
  Compared to a storage water heater, a tankless system has significantly fewer components to maintain. Not only that, but a tankless system requires no standing water, so the risk of mineral buildup, corrosion, and leaks is greatly reduced.
• Saving Space
  A tankless water heater is much smaller than a standard 40-50-gallon tank, saving you more valuable space
  in your home.

Here’s What to Look Out For

• Higher Initial Costs
  Although a tankless water heater has a higher upfront cost than a traditional storage water heater, its long-
  term savings on utility bills make it a valuable investment over its lifetime.
• Matching the Right System with Your Home’s Usage
  When making the switch to a tankless water heater, the right system capacity must be matched with your
  family’s hot water demand. At Spring Brook Ice & Fuel, we proudly offer top-notch installation and repairs
  for tankless oil fired or natural gas water heaters in the greater New Britain area, ensuring your home’s hot
