The typical home goes through about 76 to 80 gallons of water per day. This includes 3-4 showers, a load of laundry, running the faucets 9 to 11 times, and running the dishwasher after dinner. With all of this water running through your home, a standard water heater can heat and reheat water all day long. This means that the water heater is going to run more, giving you a higher energy bill.
If you opt for a tankless water heater, the water is heated as needed. When you run a faucet, do a load of laundry, turn on your dishwasher or hop in the shower, the water is heated immediately giving you the temperature that you want. This is extremely important because you don’t have an energy-hungry appliance constantly running. Due to this innovation and streamlined service, the energy bill to your home goes down immensely.
