Why You Should Buy a Tankless Water Heater Before the Holidays!

The holidays are approaching quickly, and there is no doubt you will be spending money on gifts, preparing meals for guests and planning parties.  For more info on new on why you should get a new tankless water heater, visit http://goo.gl/QHUr1h.  For now here are some reasons you should spend some of that money on a tankless water heater before the holidays.

1. Your current hot water tank uses a large amount of energy.  It is considered the second biggest consumer of energy in your home.  Switching to tankless can reduce your energy bill and save you lots of money.
2. A standards tank water heater takes up about 9 square feet of space, while the tankless water heater takes up no space on your floor, because it is attached to the wall.
3. A tank water heater is constantly running all day long heating water, while a tankless only runs when you need it to.  Saving you even more money on your gas bill.  
4. A tankless water heater will eventually pay for itself, in about 4 years, with all the money it saves you each month.
5. It also lasts much longer than a traditional tank heater by 5-10 years.
6. Running out of hot water is never an issue.

 So now that you know all the benefits of a tankless water heater, it is now time to call NY Plumbing & Sewer Rooter for yours today!!!
