Tankless Water Heater Information:
What are the advantages of a tankless water heater system?
A tankless water heater also known as a point of use water
heater or on demand water heater, turns on when you open a hot water
faucet and turns off when you close the faucet, so the energy
that is consumed is only for the hot water that is being used.
Since there is no storage of hot water and thus no constant
heating and re-heating of stored hot water, you’re not
wasting energy heating water when you do not need it, such
as when you’re sleeping or not at home. This energy savings
translates to dollar savings for you and reduced impact on our
environment. Furthermore, since a tankless water heater heats the
water as you use it, you can have an endless supply of hot water,
provided you size the unit appropriately. Tankless water heaters
are also designed to last for 20 years and are smaller than hot water
tanks.
How do tankless water heaters work?
When a hot water tap is opened, the cold water enters the
heater and triggers the heating elements or burners to turn on.
Your hot water tap acts as an ignition key for the energy used to
heat the hot water you need. The water is then heated as it flows
through the heating elements or heat exchanger. As you change the
water flow, a water valve or thermostat controls the heating
elements or burner flame to maintain a constant temperature.
The amount of energy used is always proportional to the volume
of hot water being used. When the hot water tap is turned off,
the system shuts down.
What factors do I need to consider before making a purchase?
- Choose Gas or Electric – gas water heaters are typically
more powerful than the electric hot water heaters, however the gas models have
specific venting, combustion air, and gas line requirements.
Each requirement is summarized in the product comparisons and
detailed in the installation manual on each product Tech and Specs Pages - please
review!

electric tankless water heater uses - and again - the best idea it to check out the tech and specs
of the water heater you are interested in or download a install manual above for all the information
you can get.
