Tank and Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters, also called demand-type water heaters or instantaneous water heaters provide water only as needed. With traditional water heaters, there is a loss of energy (hot water stored in the storage tank cools down as heat is dissipated to the environment). But in tankless water heaters, water is directly fed into the unit and as it makes its way through the coils, it is heated by a gas burner. So the supply of hot water is constant. You can heat only as much water as you want, so wastage is minimized.

Advantages of Installing a Tankless Water Heater

There are two types of tankless water heaters, electricity fired heaters and gas fired heaters. These water heaters have many advantages. Here are a few:

The efficiency of these water heaters has been well documented. Though they cost a little more compared to other water heaters, tankless water heaters will last much longer. These heaters also have low energy and operating costs. When you consider that water heating can account for up to 30% of a home's energy bill, you will realize how much you can actually save.

Traditional water heaters are bulky and take up a lot of space. Tankless water heaters are compact. Also, since they don't have many components, rusting doesn't affect them much.
