Considerations for Choosing the Perfect Selection from Payless Water Heaters

Tank less water heaters offer amazing benefits over time that often justify the larger price you pay up front for installation. When you install a tank less California water heater, you are offered incentives and rebates from the government and the Southern California Gas Company for specified energy star ratings. Here are some considerations to think about before buying a Payless product like the popular Noritz water heater:

Household Size

Other benefits, aside from government rebates, include flash heated water for instant hot baths and immediate warm water for washing dishes, clothes and more. Installing more than one tankless water heater in your home results in a higher capacity for hot water use at a given time, allowing you to wash your clothes, run your dishwasher and take a shower all at the same time. Determine the temperature and rate of flow you need for your house. The amount of tankless water heaters installed should be able to carry a temperature rise to at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit under normal daily activity.

Flow Rate

The flow rate is described as the amount of heated water that can be distributed within a given time. The flow rate represents your tankless water heater’s capability to heat your water to perform all of your daily tasks. Tankless water heaters are usually able to heat about half a gallon per minute. Hiring a qualified plumber for an inspection can ensure that the outlet flow rates exceed the minimum requirements of your tankless water heater. You don’t want a tankless water heater that outputs more water than your outlet can handle. Consulting a professional water heater installation consultant can help you decide on the perfect water heater for your home.

Gas or Electric?

Whether you choose electric or gas depends on what kind of rebates you want to receive and what you have available to you through your energy company. The Southern California gas company will only reimburse for a gas-powered California water heater. A house that has a lower gas rate than electric rate should use a gas tankless water heater. If you use up a lot of your gas energy at your home, installing an electric water heater will balance out your energy consumption. If you choose to use a gas water heater, tankless water heaters use three to four times more BTUs than conventional tanks. Asking your plumber to analyze your current gas or electric line size and availability of power can help you decide whether eletric or gas tankless water heating is a better choice.
