Benefits of a Tankless Water Heater
Switching to a tankless water heater can be a game-changer for your Central Pennsylvania home. Unlike traditional water heaters that store hot water in a tank, tankless models heat water on demand, providing an endless supply of hot water while saving energy and space. Here are some benefits of making the switch:
- Continuous Hot Water: Heats water on demand which means no storage or shortage of hot water.
- Energy Savings: Tankless water heaters could save up to 40% of your current water heating bill.
- Long Lasting: Typical lifespan of up to 20 years, which is twice as long as a tank-style unit.
- Clean and Fresh Water: Rest assured that you aren’t using water that’s been stored in a tank with possible rust and scale.
- Space Saving: Tankless water heaters are much smaller and can be mounted on a wall or installed outdoors or indoors.
Thinking about upgrading to a tankless water heater? Contact Jeffrey A. Wilbur Plumbing, Heating & Air Inc. today for a consultation and see how this modern solution can benefit your home in Mechanicsburg, PA, and surrounding areas.
Benefits of Green Technology in Water Heaters
Incorporating green technology into your plumbing systems is not just an environmentally responsible choice, it can also lead to significant savings and improved comfort. Tankless gas hot water heaters use green technology so you can feel good knowing they are environmentally friendly while enjoying the comfort of endless hot water.
- Energy Savings: Did you know a tankless water heater can save you up to 40% of your current water heating bill? Wait, there’s more. Rheem’s high-efficiency tankless water heaters consume 40% less energy than a standard tank water heater, which means that over time, it will pay for itself in energy savings.
- Energy Star Rating: Most Rheem gas water heaters qualify for the Energy Star certification and the cost savings that are associated with it. Ask Wilbur Plumbing to find out how you can qualify for the $300 Federal tax credit.
- Reduced Waste: Did you know there is an average of 7.3 million water heaters disposed into landfills every year in the U.S.? Rheem tankless units last up to 2 times longer than traditional tank-style water heaters and they use recyclable components and replaceable parts. This will markedly decrease landfill waste and that’s good news for the environment.
The Best Water Heater on the Market
The RTGH95 is one of the most efficient tankless water heaters for residential use. This model includes the latest in tankless technology-condensing heaters. This new innovation uses a heat exchanger which is made of stainless steel. Here are some reasons why it could be the best choice for your Mechanicsburg, PA home.
What Makes it So Efficient?
The Prestige line has an industry-low flow rate of just .26 GPM and an activation rate of just .40 GPM. This design increases the efficiency level to over 94% to make it one of the highest-performing condensing units on the market today.

If you have a busy family at home, a Rheem Tankless water heater makes loading the laundry, starting the dishes, bathing the kids, and even relaxing in a hot bubble bath of your own – all without ever running out of hot water – a reality.
If you have or plan to install a luxury bathroom or garden tub, a Rheem tankless water heater will give you the hot water you need to bring your dream bathroom to life.
Suppose you own a vacation or second home. In that case, a Rheem tankless water heater can provide significant savings by not paying to heat and reheat water as you would with a traditional water heater when you are away from home.
Rheem Prestige™ RTGH is a series of high-efficiency condensing tankless gas water heaters designed for continuous hot water.
Energy Cost Savings
Tankless water heating saves an average of 25-30% on energy costs over traditional water heating methods because water is heated only when it is needed compared to being heated and reheated all day long. Our Prestige™ Series of tankless water heaters combine the energy-saving benefits of tankless water heating with condensing technology which results in more cost savings for you.
More Space
Tankless water heaters are less than half the height of traditional water heaters and are mounted on the wall which can leave more space for storage. And, depending on your local climate, an outdoor model may be right for you, saving even more space by completely removing water heating equipment from inside the home.
Reduced Installation Costs
For units installed indoors, condensing technology allows PVC to be used for exhaust ventilation in place of costly stainless steel venting used with other water heaters. For units installed outdoors, you completely remove the cost of exhaust ventilation.
Water Saving Features
Rheem tankless water heaters have one of the lowest activation rates which means the water heater is activated without turning the water on high and they are compatible with low-flow fixtures. They are also the only tankless water heaters programmed to minimize water wasted due to the cold-water sandwich phenomenon.
