Tired of Running out of Hot Water? Go Tankless!
If you have had water heater problems, and called Daniels Plumbing out to look at your tank, you may have heard us mention a tankless water heater as a solution. Daniels Plumbing is one of the top sellers of Riannai Tankless Water Heaters in Houston, but this isn’t why we suggest them to you. They provide hot water efficiency and convenience in ways that the standard water heaters don’t.
How does a Tankless Water Heater work? A gas tankless water heater uses a heat exchanger to heat water, only when it is needed. When you turn the water on via a shower or faucet, the unit begins to heart water as it passes through the heat exchanger. In standard water heaters, the water is stored and heated, so once a few members of your household have showered or washed clothes, the stored water has been used up and the tank needs to refill and reheat the new water. The tankless water heater does not store water, as it waits for water to come through the heat exchange. Having a tankless water heater means having hot water all the time, and being able to do a load of laundry, wash the dog, and run the dish washer without running out of hot water. Once the tankless sense that the water has been turned off, it shuts down the heat exchange until the next time it senses water has been turned on.

- It is a space saver: Tankless water heaters are much smaller than standard water heaters. They can be installed almost anywhere in the house without being noticed. You can even install them outside. Some customers choose to install tankless water heaters in all of the bathrooms of their house because of their size and convenience for the members of the household.
- It will last longer than a standard tank: These water heaters have a life expectancy of up to 20 years.
- Energy Star Green: Many tankless water heaters have earned Energy Star approval. Tax breaks could be provided when purchasing one of these water tanks.
We will mention that you can buy a gas or electric tankless water heater. Gas is considered the better of the two, mainly because electric may not be able to heat the water as quickly especially if you live in areas where the ground may get cold and ze the water. We can discuss these two types of water heaters in more detail when we come to your house for an inspection.
