According to the U.S. Department of Energy, tankless water heaters provide hot water at a rate of two to five gallons per minute. At the higher levels of flow, this allows a shower and another appliance like a sink or dishwasher, giving you plenty of ways to use your tankless water heater. Plumbing companies install tankless water heaters every day, giving homeowners a great opportunity to save money and energy. Let's take a look at some reasons why you should consider installing one!

About Tankless Heaters

A tankless, or “demand-type” water heater, is a device that heats the water flowing into your hot water supply as it flows. This is opposed to a traditional water heater, which heats water as it flows into a storage tank and then allows the water to be siphoned out by various household devices like the shower, dishwasher, sinks, and washer. Tankless heaters have many advantages over traditional water heaters with very few drawbacks, making them a fantastic alternative to traditional tank heaters.

Tankless Heaters Save Money

Because your tankless water heater doesn't have to store and re-heat hot water, but rather heats the water at the point of service, a tankless water heater can be more energy efficient than a traditional water heater. Plumbing companies can give you options on your tankless heater service. If you felt the need, you could even have a heater at every point where you use hot water.

Endless Hot Water Supply

Because the tankless heater heats water as it goes into use, you have an endless supply of hot water. This means no more showers going cold just before being finished! Because each tankless heater can be set to an independent amount of heat, you can optimize water as hot as your hands can stand it for doing the dishes in the kitchen sink, or even hotter when utilizing your dishwasher. Pleasant warmth or skin-drenching heat in the shower is an option at the touch of a button!
