- The solid construction of the heaters prevent it from developing any corrosive leaks. However, a Tankless Water Heater can leak due to prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures or due to manufacturing defects.
- Tankless Water Heaters have everlasting efficiency as compared to storage tank water heaters that wear out due to mineral build-up inside the tank, due to storage of water. This results in minerals settling out and baking from the heat onto the walls of the tank, and onto the heating element in electric models, that in turn, reduce heat transfer.
