There's nothing like coming home at the end of a long day at work and being able to relax and unwind in a hot bath. Our lives would be a lot less comfortable if our homes did not have modern devices like room heaters and hot water heaters to keep us and our surroundings warm as well as making cleaning easier.

Hot water is not only great for relaxing us but also plays a very important role in keeping our homes clean and hygienic. Having to keep clothing and dishes clean and sterile with only cold water is not a pleasant task. Having to take cold baths and showers would also be really unpleasant, especially in the winter. All this convenience comes with a price though. Energy costs make up a big chunk of the utility bill in most households. Heating of water is a big contributor to this energy consumption and finding ways to reduce it is a good way to save money every month.

One device that consumes a big share of the energy in the home is the traditional tank type water heater. Because they have to heat up large amounts of water and keep them hot for long periods of time these devices consume a lot of power.

Usually this hot water is used in bathrooms (bath and shower) and kitchen areas. There areas are utilized only a few times each day in the average home but a large tankful of water is kept hot all day and all night in case its needed.

There are better and more modern ways to supply the household with its hot water requirements than the old fashioned tank heater though. One of these it the tankless type of hot water heater that only supplies hot water on demand, i. E. As it is required. Some users have experiences savings of around 40% of the water heating bill. This typically leads to an overall energy bill reduction of 8 to 10%.

Another advantage to these devices is that they take up a lot less space because they don't contain a large tank. This is a bonus in smaller modern homes as well as allowing them to be fitted closer to the usage point of the hot water. This also saves energy and cost as the water has less chance to cool down while traveling through long lengths of piping, reducing overall hot water usage.

Tankless hot water heaters also have an environmental advantage. Since the energy used in the typical home comes mostly from fossil fuels, reducing your energy usage means less burning of fossil fuels. So while you are saving money you are also helping to save the planet at the same time.
