When
you are in the market for a new water heater to replace a tank-based
model, some home improvement experts might recommend hooking you up
with a tankless version. Tankless water heaters do have their strong
points, but what matters the most is you learning enough to make the
call on setting one up at home.
Size
‘em up
Tankless
heaters come in various sizes but picking the one model you need will
require analysing the number of applications you expect to be up and
running at peak hours of the day. Flow rate performance is a pointer
to take into account by figuring out the gallon volume of water
against the temperature climb. Each plumbing fixture will have its
own flow rates that must be added up when they are all activated–
the sum will be the projected FRP for the preferred heater.
Power Source
You
often have liquid propane, natural gas, or electricity as the power
sources of choice for your preferred heater, and choosing one of them
will require you to evaluate utility linkages. In certain cases, the
existing utility source for the previous heater can prompt sticking
to it for the new one.
Installation
If
you’re at a loss on where to set up the heater, an evaluation of
the plumbing grid will determine the final location. Certain
situations will warrant linking your heater near the fixture that
needs hot water the most.
