Tankless water heaters heat water directly without the need for a storage tank. Hence, the name “tankless.” This makes them much more energy efficient because there’s no standby heat loss like with traditional water heaters.

Tankless water heaters simply heat water as you need it, with no lag in the line. And since there’s no tank, there’s no way that even your home’s most notorious long shower lover can drain your hot water supply.

Tankless water heaters provide hot water at a rate of up to 5 gallons per minute. If you think you exceed that rate, you might want to consider a traditional water heater.

If your home uses around 40 gallons or less in hot water daily, a tankless water heater will shave about a third off your utility bill. If your home uses more than that, you still stand to save something in the teens.

If you’re not sure which way you’re leaning, one of our experienced, licensed plumbers can help you make the decision of whether to go with a tank or go tankless. We can also make recommendations on installing an integrated tankless system or a hybrid system that combines both routes for hot water heating.
