			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/tankless-water-heater-5-5-111.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3202" title="tankless water heater 5 5 11[1]" src="http://www.directhomediscount.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/tankless-water-heater-5-5-111.jpg" alt="" width="257" height="268" /></a>I heard a really strange noise in my house the other day.  It sounded a bit like a dull explosion of fireworks and somewhere within the walls of our home.  Come to find out, it was the hot water heater which just so happens to be located in our attack.  It was at that moment I thought I might begin investigating tankless water heaters.</p>
<p>Tankless water heaters are also referred to as on-demand water heating.  In researching these units, I found there are several advantages in selecting them over traditional hot water heaters.</p>
<h3>4 Advantages of Tankless Water Heaters</h3>
<ul>
<li>These units are small and can be located outside of your home, in a closet, under a sink, etc.</li>
<li>Helps eliminate standby loss of energy when water cools down in pipes or sitting in the traditional storage tank.</li>
<li>The life span of tankless units is longer than tanks.</li>
<li>Water is heated on demand without having to store hot water in a tank.</li>
</ul>
<p>These are just some of the advantages I found.  I think for me one of the biggest ones is there isn’t a huge tank in attic filled with water that I have to worry about exploding.</p>
<p>Of course, there are some disadvantages too such as the initial cost of the tankless unit.  But, you should definitely look into the units that are available today and see if you can’t find the perfect on-demand hot water system to meet your needs.</p>

<h3>Energy Efficient and Space Saving Tankless Water Heaters</h3>
<p>Traditional hot water heaters continually heat the water contained in your tank.  Tankless heaters immediately heat hot water as you need it and don’t waste energy continually reheating water in a tank.  These types of water heaters also take up less space meaning you can probably move that big traditional unit out of your attic or upper floor space.  Get the space-saving, energy-efficient tankless water heater today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re interested in taking part in the conservation movement, there’s no better place to start than <a href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/kr_sm_30.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-147" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="kr_sm_30" src="http://www.directhomediscount.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/kr_sm_30.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="167" /></a>learning to conserve one of our most precious resources – water. So what can you to do help? Take a look at these easy methods:</p>
<p>Low-flow aerators &#8211; These devices save water and lower your utility bill too. The basic premise is that you will use less hot water with the installation of aerators on your faucets. Low-flow aerators are not very expensive will actually pay for themselves in just a few months of use.</p>
<p>If you’re building or remodeling your home, you can purchase faucets that produce aerated water. So when making your selection for new faucets, keep this in mind.</p>
<p>Instant Water Heaters – instead of running (and often wasting) cold water for several minutes, with an instant water heater, your water is heated as soon as it runs through the faucet.  Most of us would be shocked at the amount of water we waste while waiting for it to get hot. The more water you waste, the more money you waste – so why not save both?</p>
<p>Replace Old, Clogged-up Faucets – It’s important to have unrestricted water flow through your faucets. As your faucets age, they become clogged inside with residue; then it takes longer and longer to get the hot water you’re waiting for. Replacing your faucets won’t break the bank and will save you both money and water in the long run. </p>
<p>Taking a look at your situation and deciding which method would give you the best outcome and help you save the most water and money takes only a little time and effort. The end result will be good for your budget and the environment too.</p>
