How Loud Is A Tankless Water Heater
Jul 7th
Tankless Sounds
|
We have had a number of inquiries about how loud a tankless water heater is, how it compares to conventional water heaters and what appliance would it be on par with. 
First, tankless water heaters have basically a blower motor and a burner, nothing else would really make any noise. A power vented conventional tank water heater would have exactly the same components. We asked a few of our customers how they felt the noise level was and they all said that they didn’t notice a difference.
As mentioned above if your old tank was power vented its very unlikely that a tankless is any louder than the system 
you had. If it was not power vented than the tankless would be a bit more noticeable in terms of volume.
I would say in my opinion that a tankless would maybe be about as loud as a computer fan or maybe an electric can opener. Somewhere along that lines.

Hot Water Tank Thermal Images

Here are some thermal shots of a conventional hot water tank, as you can see there is a lot of heat loss
occurring. Sure during the winter months this is probably not a very big deal as the heat leaks into the house. During the summer when you are paying copious amount of money to keep your house cool a conventional tank sits there 24 hours a day leaking heat, and costing money. Additionally if you can see the vent pipe coming off the tank it is quite warm, this is wasted heat and energy being directly 
vented outside. That is lost energy and money for you. A tankless water heater has a much higher efficiency rating which significantly reduces the amount of heat and energy vented out of the house. The increased efficiency also means that there is less heat escaping into your home during the cooling season.
