Tankless Water Heaters
-
Out with the old in with the new!
Traditional water heaters have served us well for many many years, but new technologies are quickly making them obsolete. Slim, sleek, and energy efficient, tankless water heaters last much longer and are far cheaper to operate than traditional models. And best of all, with a tankless water heater you’ll never have to take a cold shower again.
How do they work?
Condensing Tankless Water Heaters can provide an endless supply of hot water on demand because our units activate the second you open the hot water tap. Each time you turn on the faucet, shower, or other water outlet, Condensing Tankless Water heater will immediately detect the flow and begin delivering the desired hot water.
Unlike the conventional storage tank water heaters that will eventually run out of hot water, Condensing Tankless Water Heaters can deliver an endless supply because they only produce hot water when you need it which limits energy and water waste. With a Tankless Water Heater, you will never have to worry about running out of hot water no matter how much you use at a single time.
Why should I make a change? Is it worth it?
Without the need for large storage tanks, tankless water heaters are much smaller than traditional water heaters. But that’s only the beginning of the advantages. Since tankless water heaters only turn on when you need hot water, they’re much more energy efficient than traditional models. Saving a lot of money on your energy bill.
Another important benefit of making the switch is that tankless water heaters last much longer than traditional water heaters. While most traditional models last about 10 years, tankless water heaters can last 20 years or longer, since each individual piece of a tankless is replaceable, a well-maintained tankless could theoretically last a lifetime. On the other hand, if the tank of a traditional water heater ruptures, you’ll have no choice but to replace it, and yes you will have to deal with a flood in your home and possibly your neighbor.
The best part is… with tankless you’ll never run out of hot water. When you drain the tank of a traditional water heater, you’re forced to wait for the unit to heat up more. But since tankless water heaters work on-demand, they can supply you with endless supplies of hot water. (wow…that’s amazing)

The Technology
A gas tankless water heater is an efficient appliance that uses a heat exchanger to heat water only when it’s needed, which can help you save up to 40% on your energy bill. But how does it work?
- When a gas tankless water heater senses the demand for water flow, such as turning on a faucet or a shower, the unit begins heating water as it passes through the heat exchanger.
- Because there is no need for a storage tank (which has a limited supply of hot water) you get an endless supply of hot water with a tankless water heater, even if you need if for multiple tasks—such as doing laundry, washing dishes or showering—at the same time.
When water flow ceases, the tankless water heater shuts down, therefore using less energy by not incurring the “standy loss” associated with tanks
