Tankless Water Heater
A tankless water heater, also known as a demand-type or instantaneous water heater, heats water on demand, meaning it only activates when hot water is needed, unlike traditional tank-style heaters which store and maintain heated water.
How it works:
Tankless water heaters don’t have a storage tank; instead, they heat water as it flows through the unit when a faucet or appliance is turned on.
On-demand heating:
The unit activates only when hot water is needed, eliminating the energy waste of continuously heating and maintaining a tank of water.
Space-saving:
Tankless water heaters are smaller and more compact than traditional tank-style heaters, making them a good option for homes with limited space.
Energy efficiency:
By heating water only on demand, tankless water heaters can be more energy-efficient than traditional tank-style heaters, potentially reducing energy costs.
Endless hot water:
Tankless water heaters offer a continuous supply of hot water, meaning you won’t run out of hot water mid-shower or while doing dishes.
Types:
Tankless water heaters can be either gas or electric, and they are available in different sizes and capacities to suit various household needs.
Lifespan:
Tankless water heaters can last anywhere from 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance and operation.
Maintenance:
Tankless water heaters require less maintenance than traditional tank-style heaters because they don’t have a tank that can rust or corrode.
