Tankless Water Heaters: How They Work & Why You Need One

If you’re in the market for a new water heater, you may have heard about tankless water heaters. They are a modern alternative to traditional storage tank water heaters and come with a range of benefits that can make them an excellent choice for your home.

How Do Tankless Water Heaters Work?

Simply put, they heat water on demand as it passes through a heat exchanger. When you turn on a hot water faucet or appliance, the tankless system kicks in and heats the water to your desired temperature. Unlike traditional storage tank water heaters, tankless systems don’t store hot water, which means they are more energy-efficient and take up less space in your home.

What Are the Advantages of a Tankless Water Heater?

One of the major advantages of a tankless water heater is they only heat water when you need it, so you aren’t paying to heat water sitting in a storage tank. This could potentially help you save on your energy bills. Another advantage is unlike a storage tank, you won’t run out of hot water – a blessing and a curse if you have teenagers that only get out of the shower when the water goes cold!

Is there a Tankless Water Heater suitable for my home?

Factors such as the size of your household, your hot water usage patterns and your budget will determine which tankless water heater is the right fit for you. Tankless water heaters are available in a range of water heating capabilities – designed to be efficient for the smallest condo or to meet the high demands of any home or business. And while tankless water heaters can be more energy efficient, they can cost more to purchase and rent.

If you’re looking for an energy-efficient and space-saving water heating solution, a tankless water heater may be just what you need. Be sure to research and consider all your options to find the right water heater for your home.
