How Do Tankless Water Heaters Work?
Tankless water heaters are designed to heat water on demand. When you turn on the tap, the water passes through the heating element, which is either gas or electric. The heating element will heat the water to the desired temperature as it flows through the system. It’s simple, efficient, and delivers a virtually unlimited hot water flow. Depending on the flow rate, tankless systems can deliver anywhere from 2 to 5 gallons of water per minute.Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters
Standard water heaters require considerable installation space and consume a significant amount of gas or electricity. Conversely, tankless water heaters offer many benefits, including:
By eliminating the tank, they’re more energy-efficient than standard water heaters because they don’t require constant energy consumption to keep the water at the desired temperature.Â
Tankless systems deliver as much water as you need when you need it.
Tankless water heaters can last 15 to 20 years.
Tankless systems require minimal installation space and can be installed in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, etc.
