Takagi Tankless Water Heaters

The tankless water heater is a revolutionary engineering advancement in the world of plumbing. The concept saves Tampa Bay residents money and energy while giving the user a much better experience.

Have you ever rushed through a shower as the water grew colder by the second? Have you ever gone into a shower knowing it was going to be with cold water?

A tankless hot water heater from Takagi activates the second you turn on the tap and continues heating until you turn it off. Some models are capable of generating five hundred gallons of water per minute. Traditional water heaters keep water stored in the tank so the hot water cools down as the new water mixes in the tank with heated water. A tankless heater heats “on-demand” so the water comes directly to the faucet with no dilution.

Another great aspect of the tankless heater is that energy is not wasted heating the water and then continuing to keep it hot in the tank waiting for the need to arise. Most units are Energy Star qualified meaning that they are recognized by the US Environmental Protection Agency as reducing energy usage by at least 30%. The savings not only benefits the environment, but also can pay for the unit itself over a few years.

Additional Benefits

The tankless system is a good bit smaller than a traditional water heater so that may help out those with limited space in their home. They also have a life expectancy of 20 years which is substantially longer than water heaters with tanks. The tankless water heater also poses less of a leaking risk compared to a large tank of water that is many times inside the house or in the garage.
