Electric Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters are an obvious better choice over the traditional models. Tankless models offer better energy efficiency and provide a more constant and consistent source of hot water. However, when choosing a new tankless water heater there is still a choice to be made between gas and electric.

When you look at the difference in gas and electric you will see that gas has an edge. Gas is a more efficient and effective heat source. Gas provides consistent heat and it heats faster than electric. A good example of an amazing tankless gas water heater is the Rheen tankless water heater, model RTG74PVP.

This Rheen tankless water heater will provide you with hot water that comes out of the tap hot and that stays consistently hot. You will never get cold blasts due to the hot water running out and the need for reheating the water. This is an occurrence that is only typical with tank systems. Since this water heater uses gas as a heat source, you also get fast hot water. Gas can heat in an instant, unlike electric.

Gas energy is more efficient than electric. With electric some energy will always be lost in the heating process. With gas that energy is retained and goes straight into heating the water. This is why gas can heat faster and hotter than electric. Additionally, running the gas water heater costs less than running the electric due to the energy efficiency of gas.

The Rheen tankless water heater uses an electronic ignition which helps to increase efficiency and improve the performance of the unit. The water heater also features a digital temperature display so there is no guessing what temperature it is set at. This is an amazing safety feature to safe guard your family from hot water burns. It also has an electric blower that forces the exhaust of the gas outside to prevent leaks and possible health and safety risks from gas build up.

The only major downside to a gas water heater choice is installation costs. Gas water heaters can be more difficult to install. If you are installing a gas water heater in a space that previously held an electric water heater then there will need to be some adjustments made to run the gas to the unit and provide for exhaust. However, if you are simply swapping the Rheen tankless water heater for an old model of gas water heater then installation will not be too difficult.

Overall, gas is a far better choice over electric when you are concerned about the water temperature and consistency of the hot water supply. By choosing the Rheen tankless water heater you not only get the benefits of gas, but the benefits of using a tankless system. You get efficient and effective hot water heating that will provide you with the hot water you need for your whole home at a lower cost when you choose a gas tankless water heater.
