The name 'tankless' is the commonly used term for an instantaneous water heater.  Tankless water heaters are not new appliances. They've been around for many years.

Designed and equipped initially for industries where storage space was limited but huge quantities of endless hot water were needed. For the same reasons these units are also used in large multi-unit residential complexes and mid-sized businesses.  Instantaneous water heaters are also used as residential pool and spa water heaters.

Over the years, the design and applications have been modified and changed, becoming much smaller. This smaller size requires less space, and able the unit to be placed closer to the point of use. This benefit of the smaller size instantaneous water heaters appeals to the broader residential retailer market.

Fueling Technology with Tankless Water Heaters
A standard tank gas, oil, or electric hot water heater constantly heats water all day, all the time even when you are away on vacation or sleeping.

Electric or gas? In reality, there is no right answer to this question. What is better for one household might not be the best for another.
 

 


The behind the scenes technology of tankless water heaters is simple.


1. Water passes through some coils that heat the water.

2. A sensor ignites a burner which will heat the coils.

3. Your water heats up within seconds.

4. The tankless water heater will shut itself off when it senses no water flow.
