Tankless water heaters don’t use storage tanks like typical water heaters. Instead, they produce hot water on demand. With a standard water heater, when you turn your shower on, it pulls water from the tank, and that water has already been heated.
If you have a tankless water heater, your shower would instead pull water through that, and the water would come fresh from the source, heating rapidly on its way to your shower as it passes through the pipes, past the heating elements.

The main advantage of tankless water heaters is that they are energy efficient and save you money over the long term. For instance, If you use less than 41 gallons of hot water per day, a tankless heater is 24%-34% more efficient than a tank-style heater.
Each tankless water heater has a maximum flow rate; in other words, they’re only able to heat a certain amount of water at a given time. However, as long as your water usage at any given time is below the maximum allowable flow rate, tankless water heaters provide an endless supply of hot water.
Tankless water heaters are mounted to the wall and take up significantly less physical space compared to tank-style water heaters. The average 40 to 50-gallon tank-style heater is 54 to 60 inches tall with a 20-inch diameter and is shaped like a cylinder. The average tankless unit is around 27 inches tall, 18 inches wide, 10 inches deep, and rectangular.
One of the biggest risks with tank heaters is that minerals from hard water build-up within the tank over time, leading to corrosion and, eventually, leaks. Since tankless water heaters don’t have a tank, there is no risk of leaks or flooding. The chance of a major leak flooding your basement and causing significant damage is slim.
On average, tank-style water heaters last between 8 and 12 years. However, tankless water heaters usually last over 20 years. If you plan to stay in your current home, investing in a tankless water heater will save you from needing a replacement for a very long time.

“I HIGHLY recommend his company. GOOD JOB BOB…All three of our toilets are FIXED and UPDATED!”
When you open a faucet, the flow of the water triggers the heater to turn on. Whether you use gas or electricity, the powerful gas burners or electrical elements will turn on, rapidly heating the water as it passes through the unit.
The water is heated instantly, and the time it takes to obtain hot water is directly related to the distance the hot water has to travel from the water heater to where hot water is being used. The burners or elements then shut down when you shut off the hot water. The energy that is consumed is only for the hot water that is being used.
Yes. You must choose the proper model to suit your home’s hot water needs, which is based upon the maximum flow of hot water you need at any one time. You can buy tankless water heaters that are capable of handling one shower at a time and others that can sustain a maximum of two showers operating at the same time.
You need to choose the model that can deliver the volume of hot water to meet your needs. The best method for sizing this type of water heater is to know how many showers each model can run simultaneously. There are plenty of models that can run either one or two showers at a time. And remember, a tankless water heater can deliver endless hot water, shower after shower.
