Oahu Plumbing & Rheem Tankless Water Heaters Gaining in Popularity in Honolulu, Hawaii
Tankless water heaters have been in use in Asia for over 20 years.
They are just starting to gain wider acceptance and use in the United States.
Tankless water heaters are more energy efficient than traditional tanks because they heat water as it is used, rather than heating and re-heating water in a storage tank.
They are also common in Europe and Japan in large part because they take significantly less physical space.
Energy Efficient
The most efficient traditional gas tanks today currently operate at 58% efficiency. Efficiency is a measure of heat transfer from the energy source to your hot water. Rheem Tankless units typically operate at over 80% energy efficiency.
Rheem Tankless units further save energy because water is not constantly heated, cooled and re-heated within a storage tank. And while efficiency for traditional tanks can decline over time as sediment builds up in the unit, tankless hot water heaters maintain their efficiency over time.
Overall, a consumer who uses the same amount of hot water can save between 30-60% of their water heating energy costs assuming they do not change their water usage habits. Annual energy costs for heating water in the typical home range from $150-400 per year but this varies widely.
