What Is a Tankless Water Heater, and How Do They Work?
As the name suggests, a tankless water heater does not have a tank. Unlike a traditional (or ‘storage tank’) water heater, a tankless water heater provides hot water on demand. This means that when the system is turned on, water is heated and transported at the same time. Not only does this mean that you won’t have to worry about waiting for a tank to fill up, but the system also wastes less energy since it only heats when you need it to.
Gas Tankless Water Heaters
Gas tankless units come in two types: condensing and non-condensing. The main difference is that the condensing unit employs a second heat exchanger during the heating process to capture any excess heat generated by the first exchanger. Additionally, the condensing unit retains the gases until all heat is fully reclaimed before expelling them. This process results in a higher level of heating efficiency, maximizing the use of the heat produced.
Electric Tankless Water Heaters
This tankless unit is hooked up to your property’s electrical system, similar to any other appliance. As soon as you flip on your hot water tap, sensors inside activate the system’s heating element. From there, an electrical current is sent through the element, creating heat. The incoming water from your plumbing has its temperature checked by the sensors as well, allowing the system to find the ideal heating range.
Benefits of Going Tankless
There are many reasons to buy a tankless water heater. Just check out the range of benefits below.
Saves Valuable Space
If you don’t have a lot of space, a tankless water heater is by far the best choice. Whether it’s in a garage, a closet, or even on the wall, a tankless unit can go just about anywhere that’s convenient for you and your space.
Provides Hot Water Instantly
Traditional water heaters need to store and heat enough water to provide for your home. Those tired of the waiting game can find the solution in a tankless unit. These are designed to provide hot water when you need it, heating and transporting water in only a few seconds.
Endless Hot Water Supply
No need to worry about having to wait after a hot shower—tankless units only heat water when you demand it. That water is not being stored and replaced but rather comes straight from your plumbing, allowing instant access to heated water without worrying about waiting for there to be enough to go around.
More Energy Efficient
For property owners aiming to reduce their utility bills, a tankless water heater is an excellent choice. Unlike traditional water heaters that continuously heat and store water, tankless units only heat water on demand. This significantly minimizes wasted energy associated with maintaining a large tank of hot water. As a result, you not only receive hot water more quickly, but you lower your energy consumption, leading to considerable savings on your bills.
When to Consider a Tankless Water Heater System
Making the switch from a traditional water heater to a tankless unit can be a hard decision. It really comes down to what your hot water needs are. Both units have positives and negatives, so it’s important to note which one is a better fit for you.
A tankless water heater is a good fit for your home if you:
- Have limited space
- Don’t regularly use large amounts of hot water
- Want better energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact
Stick with your traditional water heater if you:
- Use hot tubs or showers with body jets
- Have a large household
- Have a regular water supply that is very cold most of the year
