Tankless water heaters

Tankless water heaters have been used around the world for years mainly in places where energy prices are too high.

In comparison to conventional water heaters, tankless water heaters or on-demand water heaters can save both money and energy.

As the name suggests, a tankless water heater doesn’t have a tank. Instead of storing hot water in a tank, it circulates water through a series of electric coils or gas burners that automatically heat up when you turn on a hot water tap or appliance. When you turn off the faucet, the elements or burners turn off. Hence there is no need to have a tank to store hot water.


Installing a Tankless Water Heater

Best Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters are available in several models ranging from small, electric point-of-use models to larger gas appliances that supply the whole house.

You’ll need a whole house tankless water heater if you want to replace a conventional water heater.

If you want hot water quickly and efficiently at a single fixture, such as a bathroom sink, a point-of-use water heater is the best choice for you. If you just want instant hot water at the kitchen sink, a hot water dispenser is the best appliance for you.
