Use These Installation Tips for Your Tankless Water Heater Replacement
Switching from a storage-tank water heater to a tankless water heater requires careful consideration. Tankless water heater replacement isn't an easy task and needs caution because a tiny mistake can cause a blackout or even a fire. Watch this video and learn about installing a tankless water heater.
It's important to be well-informed about the process before you begin to ensure it goes smoothly and safely.
A home's water-use patterns and the income water temperatures across the year will determine the type and size of tankless water heater a homeowner requires. The water heater should be able to handle the coldest possible incoming water. Determine the maximum usage of all hot water fixtures in the home and sum them up. This will ensure the new tankless system can meet all the home's demands.
After determining the right tankless water heater, check the gas supply because tankless units consume more than storage-tank water heaters. Ensure there is enough gas pressure to meet the unit's gas needs. Ensure adequate airflow for the combustion process to be effective and efficient. Sufficient airflow will minimize energy consumption. Once the tankless water heater replacement is complete, set the ideal temperature. Avoid an extremely hot setting to mitigate the risk of scalding.
