Homeowners can enjoy many benefits from replacing their conventional water heaters with a point-of-use water heater. These benefits include saving money on utility bills, space savings, water heated on demand, very precise regulation and safety.
Economical savings are apparent on the utility bill. This unit will quickly pay for itself and continue to save on the utility bill. This savings can occur because the unit is not on all the time; this unit is only operating when the hot water is needed, not all day and night to keep a tank of water hot. Point-of-use water heaters have been estimated to save up to 60% over conventional water heaters. Part of this savings is due to the point-of-use water heater having a dedicated analog microprocessor. This processor samples input and output temperatures 21 times per second.
The space savings that these units provide are because the water is heated only as it is needed. There is no holding tank to take up extra space; consequently, the whole unit is smaller than conventional units.
The point-of-use water heaters main feature is the hot water on demand capabilities. These units incorporate new technology that provides for faster and more accurate temperature sampling, a manual resetable thermostat and new air/water deferential analyzing system to prevent dry starts.
Precise regulation is accomplished with the use of the new technology. This unit has a power control system that analyzes the data and manages power usage for maximum efficiency and temperature stability.
Safety is improved with the precise regulation of the temperature of the water. This unit almost eliminates temperature fluctuations, which can be enjoyed by anyone who uses the water.
There are many models of these point-of-use water heaters available today. These models are ideal for a wide range of applications from having one specifically for the dishwasher, to units that can heat the water needed for the entire household. Some models are even more suitable for different areas, such as areas with mineral deposits that shorten the life of a conventional unit. The point-of-use units contain a shielded incology heating element along with a copper and brass casing that make it last longer in these conditions.
Although there are many reasons to replace the conventional water heater in a home, there are a few down sides to these units. One of the biggest problems occur when to many appliances are vying for the hot water. The unit may have trouble keeping up. One easy solution is to install more than one unit, or to limit the number of appliances that are trying to use the hot water at the same time. The homeowner must remember that the conventional unit that they are considering replacing has the same problem as the point-of –use unit, but the conventional unit take more time and energy to recover from this problem.
Homeowners should have no trouble replacing their existing conventional water heater with a point-of-use water heater. The benefits far outweigh any problems that may arise with the point-of-use water heater while the savings on both the utility bill and in space can greatly be appreciated.
