Whether you’re in the market for an endless supply of hot water or are ready to replace your water heater for one that utilizes less energy, a tankless water heater is a great option. With a slim design that doesn’t require a large, bulky tank, hot water heaters can be installed in some of the smallest places.
How Does a Tankless Water Heater Work?
Traditional water heaters have a tank that cant typically hold 20-30 gallons of water and a flame burns at the bottom to heat the tank to bring the water to the proper temperature.
With a tankless water heater, you don’t have a tank so any water you need is heated only when you need it. When someone opens the hot water tap, cold water will move into a specific unit of the tankless water heater to be heated as the water goes through the pipes and out the faucet.
How Does a Tankless Water Heater Impact Your Hot Water Experience?
With a tankless water heater, you will never run out of hot water and your system will be able to provide you with 2-5 gallons of water each minute, depending on your system. If you utilize gas in your home, your tankless water heater will be able to provide you with hot water faster than electric options.
What to Consider Before Installing a Tankless Water Heater in Your Home

- The energy source for your tankless water heater
