Tankless Water Heaters

As the name suggests, tankless water heaters operate without a traditional hot water tank. There is no tank placed in your basement, because a heating element is connected directly to the plumbing system. When anyone in your household turns on a hot water faucet, you get hot water until you don’t need it anymore. Tankless systems are also called on demand water heaters because of this feature. The individual faucets receive the hot water when it’s needed, which makes for a much more enjoyable situation for people inside the house.

When you decide to try a tankless water heater, you will realize several benefits that aren’t part of the standard water tank system, including:

Endless Hot Water

Perhaps the benefit that homeowners cherish most is the fact that tankless water heaters never run out of hot water. There is an endless supply because there is no tank that must remain filled and ready.

Energy Efficiency

No tank also means less energy expenditure, because the water isn’t heated until you want it. Because tankless units are more energy-efficient, they not only help you be more “green”, but they also reduce your monthly gas or electric bill.

No More Waiting for Hot Water

There’s a reason tankless systems are sometimes referred to as instant hot water systems. It’s because you get the hot water you want when you want it! With a tankless, or point of use water heater, more than one person can shower at the same time, while another person is washing dishes and yet another is washing a load of whites in hot water. The on demand nature of tankless systems also saves you time in your morning or evening routine, since you no longer have to wait for hot water!
