>>Randy: Hello my name is Randy Ritzenthaler with R Squared Renovations. I'm a general
contractor in Dallas. Texas. Today I'd like to talk about the benefits of a tankless water
heater. If you're going to do a remodel especially
a master bathroom and change from your old bathtub to a larger soaking tub or a shower
with multiple shower heads, a tankless water heater is by far the way to go just because
you have endless hot water. Not that we want to waste water but you'll never run out filling
up a big bathtub like this. The other benefit is they only heat when you're
using water. When they are running they are gonna take more gas but they are not consistently
heating a large tank of water like a typical water heater will.
Another benefits is they are much smaller. They are designed to go in a standard set
space 14 wide. They are generally about 35 to 40 inches tall and about 6 inches in depth.
They don't take up a lot of room. If you have an existing water heater that's in a closet
you might want to use that space for a kitchen remodel or a bathroom remodel. You can mount
that tankless water heater in that space. It can go in a stud wall. In texas we actually
base a lot of them outside so you don't see them in the house at all. Outdoors is just
a metal access panel where if you needed to service it you can get to it from the outdoors.
Typical tankless water heaters by a licensed plumber for about 2 to $2,500 dollars depending
on the size you want to get and they go by gallons per minute and how much they will
do. So if you are doing just one bathroom, you may get one that's only 3 1/2 gallons
per minute. If you're going to do the whole house you can go up to 6 or 7 gallons per
minute. A typical install cost with the purchase of
the water heater is $35-45 hundred dollars. Again they are a little more conservative
on the energy and I have them in my home I swear by them.
