(BPT) - If you’re one of the many
homeowners renovating your house this
year, you’re likely looking at a wealth
of new products and features that could
add beauty and/or functionality to your
lifestyle.
Thanks in part to our trend of spending
more time at home, a significant 59%
of U.S. consumers will reallocate part
of their pre-pandemic budgets toward
home-improvement this year, according
to a report by the Joint Center for
Housing Studies of Harvard University.
One improvement to strongly consider
if you’re designing or improving a bath
is a switch to a tankless water heater.
You may not be aware of these handy,
compact and highly efficient appliances,
but they’re already a staple in commercial
spas and in homes across Europe and
in Asia because they provide such a
multitude of perks.
Switching out your conventional, storagetank
type heater could provide a number
of attractive benefits you may not have
considered, which is why these modern
and highly effective new tankless systems
are growing so much in popularity.
Tankless heaters save energy. Rather than
maintaining large, continually heated water
supplies, tankless heaters are specifically
engineered to heat input water only on
demand, as you turn on your hot-water
tap or shower. Between uses, they
automatically shut down and stop using
energy. Impressively Thermalux, a new
and fast-emerging tankless heater brand,
is credited with helping reduce up to
118,000 tons of CO2 emissions a year.
Tankless heaters ensure you never run out
of hot water. With the right-sized system
for your home, you can access unlimited
hot water all day, every day.
Tankless heaters take up less space. Despite
their added power, tankless units are
significantly smaller than the large, bulky
conventional tanks that may be taking up
unnecessary space in your home. Sized
and shaped like a small suitcase, tankless
water heaters are compact enough to be
hung on the wall in your utility room,
garage, basement, closet, or even outside.
Tankless heaters maintain cleaner water.
Because tankless heaters provide your
water only on demand, they serve up fresh,
clean water only as you need it. If you
have hard water, you can alleviate scale
build-up and maximize the longevity of
your tankless system through regular water
treatment and a simple annual descaling.
Tankless heater installation may come
with tax credits or rebates. Since many
local, state and federal agencies support
the energy-efficiency of these compact
machines, they offer various rebates
and tax credits upon installation (see
energystar.gov for more info).
With smart design, remodeling can add
years of functionality and enjoyment to
one of the most-used rooms in your home.
Consider how a tankless water heater
might be part of your improvements as
you move forward with your bathroom
renovation (or bath addition) plans. *
