Are you tired of high energy bills and waiting forever for the water to heat up? Upgrade to a tankless water heater with professional tankless water heater installation from Premier Systems.
Although tankless water heaters have been around for nearly a century, they are growing in popularity with modern homeowners who want their homes to be energy-efficient.
Tankless systems can last for up to two decades and require less maintenance than conventional systems, in part because they don’t need to run all the time. They do have some drawbacks, however. The specialists at Premier Systems want you to take the opportunity to learn more about your options before you replace your old water heater or begin construction.
Choosing Between Tank and Tankless Water Heaters
A conventional water heater works by heating water in a tank. Whether or not you want or need hot water, the heater spends energy keeping that tank of water hot. If the thermostat goes bad or sediment builds up in the tank, it could even overheat.
In contrast, a tankless water heater only heats the water as you need it, as it travels from the water supply to your faucet or shower. They are a bit less quick to provide hot water because they only start heating the water when you require it.
However, they also have a more challenging time keeping up with demand, especially if many people are trying to get hot water at the same time. Despite these differences, both traditional and tankless water heaters may still require occasional water heater repair and replacement to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
Despite the disadvantages and the increased cost of tankless water heaters, many homeowners find them to be a sound investment for the money they save on heating bills.
Tankless water heater installation isn't the only way to make your home more efficient. Using a heat pump to heat your home in the winter and keep you cool in the summer can also help. Heat pumps work by moving heat around, which takes less energy than conventional heaters and air conditioning systems.

Advantages of Tankless Water Heater Installation
The main advantage of installing a tankless water heater is reducing the energy needed to heat your water. If you compare the cost of a conventional gas water heater with a tankless heater, you could save 40% on the cost of hot water.
Tankless water heaters are less susceptible to the buildup of sediment called scale that occurs when the heater takes in hard water. However, scale still collects on tankless water systems, as it does on pipes, appliances, and fixtures. To address this, homeowners may consider incorporating water filtration systems to reduce the presence of scale and ensure the longevity of their tankless water heaters.
Tankless water heaters are also more compact, which can free up some space in your home.
Disadvantages of Tankless Water Heater Installation
Tankless water heaters have a more challenging time handling high flow rates. Heaters that use a storage tank have a large quantity of hot water instantly available, while a tankless heater heats water as needed, thus leaving homeowners with a little bit of a wait.
Tankless water heaters can cost several hundred dollars or more, which can be substantially more than a conventional tank water heater.
Tankless water heater installation costs more than tank heaters. Installation can cost over 1,000 dollars or more, compared to just a few hundred for conventional water heaters. Most of this expense comes from installing new gas lines or electrical wiring.
The decision to install a new water heater is not always straightforward. Jumping to any conclusion about the best water heater for you could be a costly mistake.
If your home is in the Gallatin Valley near Bozeman, MT, talk to the professionals at Premier Systems.

Upgrade Your Heating and Cooling System with Fuel-Efficient Technology
If you are retrofitting an older house or building a new house with an eye toward long-term cost savings, you should be aware of recent heating and cooling technology trends.
Weighing the new technological options before starting your new construction or remodeling project can make it easier to coordinate multiple projects that reinforce one another and ultimately lead to a uniquely energy-efficient home.
It is easier and less risky to begin such a project under the guidance of a professional heating and cooling technician who knows how the systems interact and reinforce one another. An expert can recommend trusted suppliers, install systems that are right for you, and help you maintain the systems and extend their lifespans.
These advances include:
Tankless Water Geaters
Mini-split Air Conditioners
Heat Pumps
Geothermal Heating and Cooling
Solar Power
Modern Insulation
Energy-efficient Windows
Ductless Mini-Split Air Conditioners
A ductless mini-split AC provides air conditioning to different rooms of your house using small wall-mounted air conditioning units in each room and an exterior air conditioning unit that contains the compressor. The individual wall-mounted units contain essential elements of the air conditioning system, making AC installation a versatile option for homes with varying cooling needs.
Air Intake
Air Filters
A Blower
A Temperature Sensor
A Remote-Control Sensor
Maintenance can be a bit more time-consuming for mini-split systems because each room unit has multiple components that the technician needs to check. Ductless mini-split system cost is typically higher than central air, but you get increased energy efficiency for that additional cost.
Ductless Mini Split Systems
Ductless mini-split systems use their cooling abilities more efficiently by directing cool air only to the rooms that need it.
While central air conditioning depends on a single motor to propel cool air, ductless systems use individual wall units. This means that they don’t have to move the same volume of air as a central air conditioning system.
On hot summer days, most of the family might be outside gardening, swimming, or enjoying the outside. If you’re working in a home office, you don’t have to air-condition the entire house just to be comfortable.
One advantage of mini-splits over central air is that the pipes take up less space than central air ducts. They are ideal for small, older homes with a modest need for heating. By eliminating the need for ducts, you save space and minimize the need to cut through walls or tear apart crawlspaces. The result is a quicker, less complex installation.

Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump
The heat pump dates back to 1948 when its inventor realized that he could use the excess heat from the back of a freezer to cool his home. The heat pump works by moving heat around rather than actually heating or cooling air directly. This allows it to work more efficiently, making heat pump installation a popular choice for homeowners seeking energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions.
There are some limitations to heat pumps. They do not work efficiently in freezing temperatures, and they have trouble in drafty houses - using a heat pump to cool a drafty house is a bit like bailing out a leaky boat. However, in conjunction with good insulation, a backup heating system for cold weather, and other energy-saving strategies, a heat pump is one part of a cost-effective and environmentally friendly home design.
A heat pump can provide cool air as part of a mini-split air conditioning system. The ability to direct cool air only to the rooms that need it, as they need it, reduces demand on the heat pump.
The efficiency of the mini-split system makes it easier to use a heat pump in houses that might not otherwise be suitable for heat pump technology.
Tankless Water Heater Heat Pump
We can combine two technological innovations by using a heat pump to provide heat to a tankless water heater, further increasing the energy efficiency of your water heating system. One potential limitation of heat pumps is that they sometimes struggle to heat large or drafty places. A heat pump provides heat to a limited area for short bursts when people need hot water.
Even in large homes that might be less suited for a mini-split with a heat pump, homeowners could still heat their water with a heat pump and use other technologies for whole-house heating.
