Some of the benefits of using a tankless water heater include:

Endless Supply of Hot Water – through “on demand” heating

What is a Tankless Water Heater?

When thinking of water heaters, we often immediately think of the enormous piece of metal (generally placed in the garage or utility room) responsible for delivering hot water to our faucets. Now, if you erase this image and think smaller and lighter, you have the tankless water heater. This is a much smaller device that is usually placed at specific points-of-use throughout a home and warms water as it is used.

How Follow

How Does this Thing Work?

It’s simple. You have a cold water inlet, heating coils, and a hot water outlet. Most modern day systems have a computerized sensor that ignites the burner when the hot water tap is open. The cold water then runs between and around the heating coils. You must preset the desired temperature of the water. Depending on the desired water temperature, the temperature of the cold water when entering the system, and the distance between the system and the hot water output, you can expect hot water within about two to five seconds. Although tankless water heaters are not quite instantaneous, they are worthwhile as you now have an unlimited supply of hot water without wasting power during storage time.

Energy Saver?

Today you have the option of natural gas, propane and electric-run systems. Whichever system you choose, a household using approximately 41 gallons of hot water per day can potentially use between 27 and 50 percent less energy with a tank-less water heater installed at every hot water point in your home. They also last longer than conventional tank heaters, about 20 years in comparison to 12.

What are the Overall Advantages?

Energy savings by heating water only when its needed, this can greatly reduce energy use. Although the initial cost is pricey, tank-less water heaters are a long term investment.

Unlimited Hot Water Because water is heated as it runs through the system you can have an unlimited supply at a moments notice.

Longer water heater life- Tank-less water heaters generally offer about a 20 year life when compared to a traditional water heater.

Less Space- Because tank-less water heaters can be mounted on the wall or sometimes inside of the building structure, this frees up space.
