Whole-Home Tankless Water Heater

Traditional water heaters are designed to heat and store water in a tank, usually 40 or 50 gallons at a time. When someone in your home takes a shower or bath, the pre-heated water stored in the tank flows to the shower head. The tank is filled again with new water from your water source. This new water is heated and stored, and the cycle continues.

A tankless water heater heats water only at the time it is being used, instead of storing pre-heated water in a water tank. Therefore, the energy used to heat the water is only consumed at the time and for the duration that the water is in demand. Generally speaking, if hot water demand in a home is lower than the cost to store the hot water in a tank, a tankless hot water heater might make sense for that home. The benefits of tankless water heaters should exceed those of traditional water heating. But, you still need to carefully consider your specific situation and lifestyle needs. You benefit in differing ways in the short term, and may benefit more or less in the long-term with each type of system. The right choice depends on your specific home’s needs and your lifestyle. As the world embraces more sustainable energy efficient systems, tankless water heaters are the best choice we have. So, anyone who can upgrade to tankless water heating should try to do so because of the long-term environmental benefits tankless water heaters provide.
