What is a tankless water heater?
Conventional water heaters heat water slowly and constantly throughout the day and store the heated water in a tank so there is hot water available when you need it. Even with the best insulated tanks, much of the energy it uses to heat the water is slowly lost throughout the day. Tankless water heaters, which are also referred to as “instant” or “on demand” water heaters, heat the water only as it is being used. When you turn on a hot water faucet, the heater activates and stays on until the water is turned off.
Tankless water heaters save energy, and they never run out of hot water. The best tankless water heaters on the market feature sensors and a microprocessor that ensure a precise output water temperature is maintained regardless of changes in water flow rate, pressure, and incoming water temperature.
