What is a Tankless Water Heater?
A
tankless water heater provides heated water on demand. In other
words, only as and when you need it.
The key advantage of tankless water heaters is that they
avoid the energy losses associated with storage tanks that keep hot
water on standby. This is because tankless water heaters only use
electricity or gas when the hot water is flowing or the tap is
turned on.
With rising gas and electricity costs, who wants to heat up a whole
tank of water and have it sitting all day...continually cooling and
requiring reheating?
Why Use a Tankless Water
Heater?
 As
mentioned earlier the key advantage of tankless hot water heaters is
that they avoid the energy losses associated with hot water storage
tanks that keep hot water on standby.
Some major metro
area utility companies are even offering rebates for installation of a tankless
water heater. You will need to check with your utility company.
And
you may even be eligible for an
Energy Tax Credit.
Since Tankless Water Heaters only heat the water as it is actually
used, using a tankless water heater will typically result in saving
20 - 70% off your energy bill.
And, of
course, the other advantage is that you won't run out of hot water any
more, like you do with water storage tanks that you need to wait while
the whole tank reheats.
How to Choose a Tankless Water
Heater?
 When
selecting tankless water heaters, the first decision is whether to
select a gas tankless water
heater or an
electric tankless water heater.
If you choose an Electric Tankless Hot Water Heater some of the major
brands include
Eemax Tankless Water Heaters and
Stiebel Eltron
Tankless Water Heaters. If you choose a gas tankless water heater we
suggest
Rheem Tankless Water Heaters.
