Tankless Water Heaters
Imagine endless hot water and lower energy bills....
You don't use hot water 24 hours a day. But, you're paying to heat water 24 hours a day. With a standard water heater, you heat and reheat the same water even when you're sleeping.
The tankless water heater is a more efficient way to heat water. It heats water quickly and delivers an endless supply of hot water for as long as you need it. You only pay to heat water when you need it and for as long as you want it.
Did you know? Tankless water heaters...
- Produce and supply endless streams of hot water to multiple outlets simultaneously without any fluctuation in temperature
- Are 30 to 50 percent more energy efficient than a traditional water heater
- Shut-off automatically when the water supply is closed, providing users with significant energy savings - in turn saving money on their utility bills
- Are compact "wall mounted units" with an average life expectancy of 20 years, whereas hot water tanks require about 16 square feet of floor space and usually last around 10 years
Factors To Consider When Purchasing a Tankless Water Heater
1. Gas
vs. Electric – if you have
a choice between gas and electric, we suggest the gas units as they are
typically more powerful than the electric units and are more energy efficient. Electric Water Heaters are Not all gas homes can have a gas unit installed due to specific venting requirements. The electric tankless water
heaters are hard wired and typically have high amperage requirements, however
there are no combustion air or venting requirements with an electric unit.
2. Flow rate
–
While tankless water heaters can provide an endless supply of hot
water, they
have a limitation as to how much hot water can be produced at any given
time.
There is also a relationship between the amount of hot water produced
in gpm (gallons per minute) and the temperature rise which is listed in
our product
comparisons link at the bottom of this page. The
temperature rise refers to the number of degrees the inlet water
temperature is
increased. For example, in the US
the average inlet water temperature is 55 degrees, so to raise the
water to 115
degrees in this case would require a 60 degree temperature rise.
3. How much hot water do you need at one time?
Do you need to run 2 showers at the same time or maybe a shower and a
couple sinks? We suggest using 2.0 gpm for a shower and 1.0 gpm for a bathroom
as a reference point in determining your total simultaneous water needs.
