What Is a Tankless Water Heater?
A tankless water heater sounds counterintuitive, but really it’s quite clever. There is no tank to store water. Instead, when you need hot water, cold water flows through a heat exchanger housed in the water heating unit. This heat exchanger can be a gas burner or an electrical element.
In a nutshell, a tankless water heater provides constant, on-demand hot water when you open your hot water faucet.
Tankless Water Heater Benefits
There are quite a few benefits to installing and using a tankless water heater in your household. But, in the interest of transparency, so you can make the right choice for your home, we are sharing some of the tankless water heater pros and cons:
Pros
- Reduced energy consumption
- Reduced costs/utility bills because you are not maintaining a tank of heated water 24/7
- Longer lifespan than traditional water heaters, lasting up to 20 years
- Constant hot water as and when needed
- Tankless water heaters take up much less space
- Less likely to cause water damage
Cons
- The flow rate* is limited based on the heater’s output
- Large households may require more than one tankless water heater
- If the power is out, there is no hot water being stored for later use
Tankless vs. Traditional Water Heater
Our customers often ask us to compare a tankless vs. traditional water heater so they can make the right choice for their home and family. The primary difference is that a traditional water heater is designed to store and maintain a body of hot water, whereas no water is stored in a tankless water heater.
Another notable difference is that while the reservoir of the traditional water heater can be depleted when there is a high demand for hot water, especially in the evening or morning, a tankless water heater will not run out of hot water.
Other differences include the size of the water heater – a tankless water heater is much smaller than a traditional water heater. Likewise, a tankless water heater has a longer lifespan than a traditional water heater.
