What is a tankless hot water system? The traditional hot water heater not only heats your water, but serves as a reservoir. It is designed to hold enough water to run multiple appliances at once. The entire reservoir of water is heated no matter which appliance is in use or how much water you need. The excess water remains in the tank and is heated again. It’s not the most efficient, but is always ready with an ample supply of hot water.
Tankless Water Heater Systems
A tankless water system has no reservoir and heats water on-demand. Instead of heating a full water supply, it heats water as needed when you turn on a faucet or start a hot water appliance. This system is much more efficient. However, a single tankless hot water system is not built to supply 3 people taking showers while running the washing machine and dishwasher. If you organize and plan your hot water usage, a single tankless system will serve your needs and reduce energy usage. If you require or desire a higher volume of hot water to serve multiple appliances, we can install 2-3 smaller tankless units in strategic places (supplying specific appliances) throughout property; thus increasing efficiency and providing sufficient hot water.
Is Tankless Water Expensive?
Tankless water heater systems generally have a higher initial cost. However, that cost will pay off by increasing your energy efficiency and decreasing monthly usage and bills. Some gas systems qualify for a tax credit! We are more than happy to talk through your options and budget to determine the best system for your needs.
