How does a Tankless Water Heater Work?
On-demand or tankless water heaters provide hot water on request instead of heating up and maintaining the temperature of hot water in a traditional hot water tank. They heat water immediately without the need for a storage tank.
It lets cold water pass through a heating exchange in the unit, usually gas or electric, that heats the water at that point. It is only activated when the user needs hot water, making it more efficient and cost-effective. As a result, you will never run out of hot water! It is usually installed near the sink, shower, or bath where water is often used.
Your Instant Hot Water Heater–Why you’ll want to install one
Hot water on demand
Tired of shivering from cold showers? John G. Plumbing’s Tankless Water Heater is your solution!
A standard water heater pulls the heated water from a tank, and it takes time to heat more once it is all used up. However, tankless water heater units are heated only when you need it, so you don’t have to wait for a tank to fill before using it. Since there isn’t a tank to fill and heat, the water is heated as it passes through the system to where you need it. You don’t have to ever use the phrase “out of hot water” again!
Space Efficient
Many customers are used to having their laundry in the same area as a water tank, so this extra space comes in handy. Cheers to your new laundry room!
Their compact size makes them convenient to install, usually mounted on the wall. As there is no large tank to navigate around, tankless water heaters tend to be more discreet. They also allow you to place it anywhere inside or outside your home.
Drink and cook right from the tap!
Ever wonder if it is safe to drink? Storage water heaters maintain the warm temperature of the water in the tank, allowing the possibility of harmful bacteria to reproduce or rust to develop. By eliminating the tank environment, fresh water is heated on demand, which in turn, makes it safer to drink!
How much is a tankless water heater?
A tankless water heater can be more expensive than a standard storage water heater. It also depends on the size, system, condensing or non-condensing. While it may seem like more of an investment upfront, you will save for years on your energy bills when compared to traditional storage-type water heaters.
