What Are Continuous Flow Gas Hot Water Heaters?

Continuous flow gas water heaters, also known as ‘tankless water heaters’ or ‘infinity hot water heaters,’ are inventive water heaters that heat water as needed.

Rather than heating water and storing it in a water storage tank for you to use later, continuous flow water heaters heat water and send it directly to you when you need it. This can have heaps of wonderful benefits that could make your life much easier.

What Are The Advantages Of Using A Continuous Flow Gas Hot Water System?

These water heaters certainly differ from traditional storage tank water heaters, but what advantages can they offer you that storage tank water heaters can’t?

There are actually quite a lot of benefits that everyone in New Zealand should know about these wonderful water heaters. A few, but not all, of the most notable benefits are:

They’re Energy Efficient. Tankless water heaters are a fantastic option for people who wish to be more conscious of how much energy they use and their impact on the environment. Continuous flow water heaters tend to be more energy efficient than other types, all while you can enjoy infinity hot water when needed.

This energy efficiency comes from the fact that your water heater won’t be heating water that you might not end up using. Instead of heating lots of water and storing it in a tank, this type heats water as it passes through the water heater and only heats the water you request.

They Can Have Lower Running Costs. An excellent side effect of using less energy is having to pay for less energy usage every month. You won’t have to spend money on heating water that you never end up using.

One drawback to continuous flow water heaters is that their upfront costs can be pricier than storage tank water heaters. However, the fact that they use less energy and can have cheaper running costs may cancel out this drawback over time.

They Take Up Less Space. Storage tank water heaters, naturally, require a storage tank to work properly. One problem with this that some people may have is that storage tanks tend to be rather large, and having them on their property may take up more space than they’d like.

A tankless water heater, of course, doesn’t need a big water storage tank. It’s great for people with smaller homes or people who enjoy clearer spaces.

They Give You More Control Over Your Hot Water Usage. Being able to heat water on demand gives you a tremendous amount of control over your household’s water usage. You can take measures to develop good, energy-saving and water-saving habits to reduce your bills and your environmental impact. Even though you can use infinity hot water, that doesn’t mean you should use it all the time.

Some things you may do to lower your water usage are:

Turn Off The Tap When You Don’t Need It On. Sometimes, we absentmindedly leave the tap on when we brush our teeth or reach for something in the bathroom. This might seem small, but it can waste water over time.

Only Use The Amount Of Water You Need. Do your best to only use the amount of water that you need, and not more.

Some things you may do to lower your energy usage are:

Only Use Hot Water When Needed. Washing your hands, brushing your teeth and washing things can often be done comfortably with cold water.

Fix Leaky Pipes Around Your Water Heater. If you notice that a pipe is leaking, fix it! Wasted water droplets can add up.

They Have Very Long Projected Lifespans. Standard water heaters usually have a projected lifespan of around eight to ten years. But, a continuous flow gas water heater can last for over twenty! Be sure to keep up with your water heater maintenance so that it stays in good condition.
