The technology of water heatering has been around for a hundred years and has been virtually unchanged in all that time. This is mainly because that technology worked so well back then and still works today. Traditional water heaters use tanks that heat and store water ready for use. You always have hot water on hand just in case. Whether or not the water is used, energy is still put out to keep it hot. This can be very wasteful and energy inefficient.
Tankless water heaters, also known as demand or instantaneous water heaters, are an excellent alternative to conventional tank heaters. Tankless water heaters heat water on demand rather than keeping hot water in reserve. Because they don’t have to keep a volume of water hot indefinitely on standby, they require less energy than tank heaters and generate lower utility costs.
The difference can be as much as 60%. Tankless water heaters have very high efficiency ratings at nearly 99%. With more and more attention being paid to energy conservation and environmental issues, tankless water heaters have become very popular.
