Tankless Water Heaters

Is a Tankless Water Heater for You?

There are many benefits to tankless water heaters:

• the water is heated only "on-demand" so no energy is wasted keeping a large tank of water hot and ready to use 
•  most of the 20%-30%"passive energy loss" (in pipes, etc.) is avoided;
• on average, tankless systems cost one third less to operate;
• tankless water heaters have an average life expectancy of 20 years, while traditional water heaters last 10-15 years; and
• tankless water heaters are powerful, but compact--most can be wall mounted inside or outside the home.

How do you decide if a tankless water heater is right for you? The U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Savers website is a good place to start.
