You rely on your water heater to provide your home with a steady supply of water when you need it. However, with most conventional heaters, it takes a lot of energy to create and maintain a supply of hot water. This is because standard heaters must work constantly to keep the tank at whatever temperature you set for the system. A tankless water heater offers a more energy-efficient method, helping reduce your energy costs month after month. 

How Does a Tankless Water Heater Work?

Tankless Water HeaterTankless systems, unlike standard units, do not store water at all. Instead, they heat it on demand, giving you access to a steady supply at all times. The system accomplishes this by heating water as it enters the unit. Anytime you turn the tap on, the system kicks on, powering up the heating element housed inside the casing. As water passes through the heating element, it reaches your desired temperature almost instantly. The hot water is then sent through your plumbing system and to the tap. When you turn the tap off, the system enters standby mode and stops sending power to the heating element.

Why Should You Install One?

With a tankless unit, you’ll never have to worry about running out of hot water again. If you enjoy long, hot showers, this alone can be a great reason to install a tankless water heater. However, because the unit only heats water when you need it to, you’ll save money each month on your energy bills. Over the course of the year, you could save hundreds while also reducing your carbon footprint.
