Tankless Water Heater Information

Evolution of Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters were invented to provide hot water at the point of use instead of having to wait for it to be routed through your pipes to reach your touch, as well as to eliminate the need to continuously reheat water stored in a large tank.

Tankless water heaters reduced the number of plumbing pipes for a house because most were installed directly at the location where the hot water would be drawn from, like the kitchen or the bathroom.

Since the tankless water heaters that were being invented were about five times smaller than traditional water heaters, they were conveniently available to be mounted on a wall outside the house, or in the garage or pantry.

Energy Information Regarding Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters use less energy to keep the water heated than common water heater tank models, since they do not waste energy by creating standby heat. When the tankless water heater model and brand that best corresponds to the hot water needs of a particular household is installed, the on-demand water heating system becomes a more convenient solution as opposed to a tank heater.

• The typical shower uses 2.5 gallons of water per minute and a mid-sized tankless water heater can supply roughly 6 to 7 gallons of hot water per minute.


• With a tankless water heater, it is possible to take 2 showers at the same time from different shower heads and still have enough hot water to do laundry after!

In other words, the water temperature at the shower head is the same regardless of how much water is being used, whether a second shower is turned on or third user draws hot water. The gas burner or electric heater modulates the energy, gas or electric to the desired level to achieve the set temperature.
